Statement of Citizenship Letter from member confirms SOC acceptance
AN INCREASING NUMBER OF EMPLOYERS ARE ACCEPTING STATEMENTS OF CITIZENSHIP AND COMPLYING WITH THE LAW
To the Editor-
My name is Steven, and I live in New York. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse working for the local hospital in town. During the summer of 1992, 1 applied for a position with a local health center that was affiliated with another hospital. I learned of the position through an advertisement placed in a local newspaper which said that a part time or per diem position was opening for an L.P.N. and that applications were being taken at their office.
I filled out the application (minus a social security number) and dropped it off at the nursing office. Several weeks went by without a response, and since I was busy with several other private duty positions, I'd pretty much forgotten about the job. Several months passed and one afternoon I was in the grocery store and ran into the nurse that was in charge of the health center. She asked me why I had not applied for the job and I explained to her that I had submitted an application but had not yet been contacted for an interview. She asked me to give her a call at the office and said she would make sure that I was interviewed if I was still interested.
Within a few days the lady who does the hiring contacted me and asked if I could come in for an interview and "fill out the required paperwork." When I arrived at the office I went thru a small orientation. Then I filled out the forms but when she handed me the final form to fill out it was a W-4. I told her that I was not required to file this form and that I did not have a social security number. She said "ALL" Americans are required to file this form so that the proper amount of taxes can be withheld each week. I remained calm and polite but informed her that she was mistaken. I explained that not all Americans were required to do this and that in fact, compliance was voluntary. She was becoming visibly upset with me. I thought it would be wise to explain that I had the documentation she would need to accept my claim and that if she or her superior would comply with the law they would be informed by the I.R.S. that I was correct. She emphatically replied, "Well... I have never in my life heard of such a thing! " She was adamant, and in her mind she just knew that I was required to file the W-4, "just like everyone else," but she agreed to listen anyway. I gave her a copy of my signed "Statement of Citizenship" (in duplicate), a copy of I.R.S. Publication 515, a copy of C.F.R 26, sec. 1.1441-5, and a copy of the suggested letter of transmittal supplied by S.A.P. I went thru each and every page and explained to her what it all meant. Then I advised her that the burden of responsibility for these claims rested with me, and that regardless of what she believed, the law required her to forward my "statement of citizenship" to Philadelphia so that they could make a determination. I went on to explain that she would be obeying the law and that there was no reason to fear any repercussions for doing so. I thought that it was important to carefully explain the "Letter of Transmittal" to make sure that it was directed to the I.R.S. in Philadelphia ONLY.
It never seems to fail. No matter how many times you explain this to someone, they will call or write the local office of the I.R.S. instead of Philadelphia. The local office will immediately give the employer incorrect information and then the employer tells the employee, "I told you so."
She was unsure of what to do even after I explained the correct procedure, so she forwarded my paperwork to their main office it the hospital in New York to dump the problem on them. Just as I thought, the Finance Director at the main office ignored the requirements of the law and called the local IRS office to ask what they should do.
Naturally they told her that I was wrong and that I was "required" to file the same W-4 as everyone else.
Well, in the meantime I started to work for the health center. 'They made the standard deductions without my permission, and I waited to hear from the home office about the disposition of my statement of citizenship not realizing they had contacted the local IRS. It was a month later before the office manager finally informed me that the "Statement of Citizenship" and related paperwork was invalid and that she was under pressure from New York to get a signed W-4 with a social security number. I delayed as long as was possible while trying to explain to the director that she had made a mistake by not following the directions I had given, and that this could all be resolved by simply sending the letter of transmittal to the Philadelphia Office of the IRS. She refused, and kept taking money from my paycheck each week.
I decided it was time to call Save-A-Patriot. After talking with Irma in the National Workers Rights department, she wrote a letter to the New York office to explain the law. About a week or so later I received an inter-office memo from the home office with a check for $224.00 and a letter of apology from the Finance Director. She said that she had never encountered a situation such as this, and was returning what they had deducted up until that time to cover state and federal taxes. Not only did I receive a complete refund, but I am currently receiving my full paycheck with no deductions and they no longer want a W-4 or a social security number.
