Why is a 6 year olds SSN not valid for employment

Does it say that on your child's Social Security card?   Look at the card.   Do you see that on the card?

Why is a 6 year olds SSN not valid for employment

It sounds like you may have accidentally checked the box indicating it was not valid for employment- you can go back to My Info to correct this.

 

Navigate to My Info, Your household, select your dependent. 

 

  • Choose "My child", continue and be sure their name, date of birth and proper citizenship is complete. 
  • Continue, and answer the question about living arrangements and parents. 
  • Continue, and answer any less common situations, if applicable. 
  • Lastly, enter the child's SSN and be sure that "Not valid for employment is printed..." is NOT checked.
