Hi there, @rlee-taag-geneti.
Intuit requires Social Security Number (SSN) as per IRS regulation. Since you don't have the SSN, I'd suggest consulting with a tax adviser or contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to get to the bottom of this.
While waiting for your SSN, you can still create a regular check for your employees.
You can also check out these articles that may help you with the process:
