CROSS-CHECK“Names on the pay stub and W-2 don't match”
What this flag on a set of documents means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The pay stub and the W-2 are issued to different people.
Why it matters
Both should be for the applicant.
Ordinary explanations
- A name change during the year.
What to check
Ask the applicant why the names differ. A W-2 should be issued to the same person as the pay stub.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
