RE: Removing EIN/SSN Separators
Joe, the X12 standards are silent on this issue. Rather, the code
administrators actually are the ones responsible for specifying whether or
not formatting characters are used, since these are codes external to the
X12 standards. For HIPAA, for example, the federal regulation for employee
ID specifically states that the hyphen be used. I'm not sure about the SSN,
but even the HIPAA Igs are silent on this. This very topic is now the
subject of a raging debate on the WEDI SNIP Transactions WG listserv.

Subject: [EDI-L] Removing EIN/SSN Separators
In the NM1 segment when field 66 designates an EIN number with a value of 24
or a SSN number with a value of 34 does field 67 contain the separator
character '-' commonly used in data entry.
for instance
...*24*00-0000000*...
or
...*34*000-00-0000*...
Thanks in advance,
Joe McVerry
P.S. My guess is that the separators are not used, much like leading zeroes
are not used.
