Social Security Number Update

If you find there is an incorrect social security number on your TEACH account you may request the number be changed. You will need to make this request through your TEACH Online Services account. To do this, go to your TEACH account (or self-register if you don't already have an account). Once in your TEACH account:

• Click Verify/Update Profile
• click Edit Personal Info
• click the Request SSN Change button
• You must mail a copy of the documentation that supports your request. For example, if you request a SSN change, mail us a copy of your SS card and please explain the error in TEACH. Mail to: Office of Teaching Initiatives, 89 Washington Ave, EB RM 5N, Albany, NY 12234

There is no fee for requesting a SSN change.
