The Social Security Account Number

United States, Office of the Inspector General, Statement for the Record
James G. Huse, Jr., 05/22/2001
Subcommittee on Social Security, Protecting Privacy and Preventing Misuse of Social Security Numbers
The SSN is a unique identifier, and its quotidian use as an I.D. number by schools, hospitals, and other institutions is understandable-but dangerous. Its use by Federal, State, and local governments not only for taxes and other legitimate purposes, but for everything from drivers' licenses to water and sewer bills, is a convenience that we can no longer afford. Its use in private industry, not just for financial transactions, but for joining a health club or buying a refrigerator, has become reckless.
