Or is there another reason? Because I lost my SS Card and start a new job later today. I have valid US Passport however, which is acceptable for the I-9. I just wanted to make sure that I won't be in a world of hurt if there's another reason that my employer will insist on seeing an SS card.

Legally we have to make sure you are able to work in the US and SS number is required and proof that you have an SS card. Copies are never accepted. The request for an SS card may become more dominant with the new changes that went into effect on Sept. 14, 2007, a new rule from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) takes effect that will significantly change the way employers must respond to no-match letters from the Social Security Administration (SSA) or notices from DHS concerning discrepancies on I-9 employment verification forms. As some wrote, to complete the I-9 form you merely need to submit one document under Side A. Side B requires two pieces of proof. Again, with the new changes employer's may ask for a copy of SS card especially those involved in the pilot program. The smarter HR departments may have already implemented this and they are requesting a copy of the new employee's SS card. I personally have been doing it for years in the event we were ever audited and also to ensure payroll accuracy.

She is screwing you royally because she does not want to deal with payroll taxes. It is also illegal. She is making you an independent contractor so self employed. She may be right about state and federal taxes. If you make less than 5800 there are no income taxes. Once you hit $400 in self employment you pay 13.3% in social security and medicare. You would normally pay 5.65% of your check (lower due to Obama's stimulus program). You can fix this. Once you do she will fire you but it isnt worth having a job like that. You file an SS8 and include your 5.65%. The IRS will make the determination that you are an employee. They will make your employer pay their part. They will audit the company and look for others that were misclassified. They will pay up plus penalties and interest. They could owe so much they could end up being shut down. This is NOT your fault.

An employer can not require to provide specific documents. Although the standard is your SS card & DL/ID, they cannot demand those specifically. If you have a valid, current US passport, that is the only form you'll need. And yes, it is only for I-9 purposes. They may want to photocopy the document(s) for their records, which is not required but hightly recommended, so don't be surprised or concerned if they do.

If you are able to provide your new employer with a current U.S. passport then you have no worries. That is one of the documents listed for I-9 work authorization in column A, and they may not ask for further verification of your right to work in this country.

Your new employer will ask for your SS Card. Call or go to your SS office ASAP and ask them if they can expedite it, due to a new job.

background check. Also to ensure that you have the legal right to work in the country.
If you're an employee of that company they are legally bound to with hold your taxes.
