NoSSN - The Infamous SSA Letter

The Infamous SSA Letter
December 12, 2001

I received an e-mail asking for my comments on the infamous SSA letter. This letter is obviously a form letter sent to anyone asking about the requirement of someone to get, have, use or otherwise obtain a social security number. You can see a copy of one of these here.

> You have probably seen the following letter from the SSA regarding

> requirements (or lack thereof) for citizens' use of a SSN:

> I'm wondering if you could tell me your thoughts about the 3rd and 4th

> paragraphs in the letter, the ones dealing with "other requirements"

> for obtaining and using a SSN.

> Thanks,

Here is my reply and thoughts;
