Why does WePay need my Social Security number?

WePay uses your social security number (SSN) as part of its identity verification program. 

This is required per federal regulations, and more information can be found by following this link. Basically, WePay needs to verify that you are authorized to act on behalf of your organization. If youÍve entered your organizationÍs name and EIN number, any reporting to the IRS will be tied to your organization, not to you as an individual.
