Payroll Information Exchange (PIE)

Social Security can obtain monthly wage information from payroll data providers through the Payroll Information Exchange when the person gives permission. This is an administrative reporting service.

PIE may reduce monthly wage reporting when Social Security receives wages from a payroll data provider. Permission is required. A person may still need to report wages; this page does not establish that all reporting duties end.

Some details for this program are still being verified. Check the official source for the most current information.
