Darla, this is true...banks, schools, drs offices want your SS# I just DON'T give it...they can have my drivers license # or make up a # but I refuse...my sons was stolen from school....I NO longer give it out...it is a nightmare getting all the stuff straightened out...and the bad news is...the honest people have to do ALL the work! We have to prove it is our # .
I remember when our license # was our SS# not anymore...even IRS doesn't put your SS# on their labels.
This is just my views...but then we were burnt once...
