Can some one help me in Validating SSN Number

I think that does not explain much!

Could you please elaborate?

you can probably use some callouts to invoke the services which might do this for you!

Verifying that the person actually matches the SSN or that the SSN is in the correct format? For the latter, use regex. Salesforce has an example validation rule on their help pages. The same regex can be used in whatever you code in.

 

 

NOT(
OR(
ISBLANK(Social_Security_Number__c),
REGEX( Social_Security_Number__c , "[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}")
)
)

 
I'm not too sure about verifying the SSN is actually matched to the contact though. We supply questionnaires that request SSN and a reply triggers a background check through a 3rd party. If the background check fails due to invalid SSN, we then have to work with the contact to make sure they entered it correctly.
