Since UT is trying to avoid using SSNs as identifiers, is it necessary to include the SSN on the Request for Travel?
A. Yes. Until the changeover is complete, it is the only valid identifier for the individual. To comply with Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. Sec. 403.055 (Vernon Supp. 1992), the State Comptroller requires a person’s SSN to set up a vendor. If the person does not have an SSN because they are not a US citizen, you can request a temporary number when processing the RTA.
