Form SSA-89 is a consent form that allows the Social Security Administration (SSA) to verify a borrower's Social Security number (SSN) to a lender. This is done to help lenders verify the borrower's identity and to prevent identity theft. The SSA-89 form must be signed by the borrower and submitted to the lender. The lender will then send the form to the SSA, which will process the request and send a verification letter to the lender. The verification letter will state whether the SSN belongs to the borrower and whether the SSN is active.
