Answer 1

You  need  to  notify   your  HR  of   the  error ,

Also ,  notify  Social  Security  because  someone  else  

Has  now  been  credited  with  your  work  for  their  social  security  account .

Although  it  was  probably  an  accident /  typo ,  

You  have  lost  your  earnings  for  that  period  and  it  needs  to  be  fixed .

Good  luck

Answer 2

Ask your employer to make the correction by issuing a W-2C (as in Correction) reducing the wages paid under the wrong number and issuing a new W-2 with the right one.  

The first copy of the W-2 is the source document to credit your Social Security account.  If the wrong number was used, it is going to cause a problem that the employer is going to have to fix anyway.
