Overview

The SSN was created in 1936 to track workers' earnings and eligibility for Social Security (SS) benefits. Since that time, the SSN has been used for many non-SS purposes, and private sector use of the SSN has grown. This has raised concern over how this personal info. is being used and protected, esp. with the growth in electronic record keep. and the explosion of info. over the Internet, combined with a rise in identity theft. This report studied: the extent and nature of Fed., state, and county gov't. agencies' use of SSNs; the actions gov't. agencies take to safeguard SSNs from improper use; the extent and nature of Fed., state, and county governments' use of SSNs when they are in public records (PR); and the options available to safeguard SSNs when they are in PR.
