Seeing as you have that much info about the person already, I would assume you have their address. I am curious about how you obtained their SS#. Be careful of legal issues with other people's personal info.

Yes because they go by your social security number..K

There is no dearth of SSNs because the current numbering system provides enough nine-digit sets of the 3-set Area Number, the 2-set Group Number and the 4-set Serial Number. Even though the government has issued over 420 million SSNs so far, and they assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide them with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.  This happens even though they do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder's death.

You must have a social security number to work in the United States, or permission of our government, you are punishable by our laws governing this issue.  You can receive a card allowing you the rights to be here only for specific endeavors or specific time restraints if you are not an American citizen.

You would have to check with your local Social Security Office for this question.

A Social Security Number (SSN) consists of nine digits, commonly written as three fields separated by hyphens: AAA-GG-SSSS. The first three-digit field is called the "area number". The central, two-digit field is called the "group number". The final, four-digit field is called the "serial number".\n\nThe process of assigning numbers has been changed at least twice. Until 1965, only half the group numbers were used. Before 1972, numbers were assigned by field offices; since 1972, they have all been assigned by the central office. The order in which numbers were assigned was changed in the 1972 transition. There may have been other changes, but it's difficult to get information on how things used to be done.\n\nArea Numbers\nThe area numbers are assigned to geographical locations. They were originally assigned the same way that zip codes were later assigned (in particular, area numbers increase from east to west across the continental US as do the ZIP codes). Most area numbers were assigned according to state (or territorial) boundaries, although the series 700-729 was assigned to railroad workers regardless of location (this series of area numbers was discontinued in 1964 and is no longer used for new SSNs). Area numbers assigned prior to 1972 are an indication of the SSA office which originally issued the SSN. Since 1972 the area number in SSNs corresponds to the residence address given by the applicant on the application for the SSN.\n\nIn many regions the original range of area number assignments was eventually exhausted as population grew. The original area number assignments have been augmented as required. All of the original assignments were less than 585 (except for the 700-729 railroad worker series mentioned above). Area numbers of "000" have never been issued.\n\n  001-003 NH    400-407 KY    530     NV \n  004-007 ME    408-415 TN    531-539 WA\n  008-009 VT    416-424 AL    540-544 OR\n  010-034 MA    425-428 MS    545-573 CA\n  035-039 RI    429-432 AR    574     AK\n  040-049 CT    433-439 LA    575-576 HI\n  050-134 NY    440-448 OK    577-579 DC\n  135-158 NJ    449-467 TX    580     VI Virgin Islands\n  159-211 PA    468-477 MN    581-584 PR Puerto Rico\n  212-220 MD    478-485 IA    585     NM\n  221-222 DE    486-500 MO    586     PI Pacific Islands*\n  223-231 VA    501-502 ND    587-588 MS\n  232-236 WV    503-504 SD    589-595 FL\n  237-246 NC    505-508 NE    596-599 PR Puerto Rico\n  247-251 SC    509-515 KS    600-601 AZ\n  252-260 GA    516-517 MT    602-626 CA\n  261-267 FL    518-519 ID    627-645 TX\n  268-302 OH    520     WY    646-647 UT\n  303-317 IN    521-524 CO    648-649 NM\n  318-361 IL    525     NM    *Guam, American Samoa, \n  362-386 MI    526-527 AZ     Philippine Islands, \n  387-399 WI    528-529 UT     Northern Mariana Islands\n\n  650-699 unassigned, for future use\n  700-728 Railroad workers through 1963, then discontinued\n  729-799 unassigned, for future use\n  800-999 not valid SSNs.

The purpose of the social security number is to identify a person for the determination of taxation, and hopefully, disbursement of benefits. It is unnecessary to issue a card to a fetus, as it has not yet had the opportunity to incur either tax debt or benefits. Be assured, if there were a way to tax a fetus en utero, our government would have found it, which would give legitimacy to your hypothesis.

For the State of Washington:\n"DOL's collection of SSN information is mandatory under several state and federal laws." \n\n"Effective May 20, 2004, the Department of Licensing will begin verifying identity information (such as the Social Security number, SSN) that customers provide to ensure it matches data on record at the Social Security Administration."\n\nsee on-site references:

You should treat your Social Security number as confidential information and avoid giving it out unnecessarily. You should keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you unless you need to show it to an employer or service provider. \n\nYou should be very careful about sharing your number and card to protect against misuse of your number. Giving your number is voluntary even when you are asked for the number directly. If requested, you should ask: \nWhy your number is needed; \nHow your number will be used; \nWhat happens if you refuse; and \nWhat law requires you to give your number.

I know a man who moved away from a situation then simply changed his own social security number. Submitted a new one he made up when he started his own small business. IRS hasn't knocked on his door yet. He's almost 70.

I work at a bank. I know that you CAN open a bank account without ssn (you just have to sign W-8 form which they ll provide to you). However, without a social security number you are not eligible for a credit product (such as credit cards, loans etc). HOwever, you can get a debit card with your checking account and spend the money you have in your account with it everywhere in the world accepts Visa, MAster Card (Assuming your debit card will be one of them).\n\nGood luck.

Only if your employer has a valid alternative. \n\nPrimary example:\nExecutive Summary\nApproximately five million state and local employees are exempt from Social Security and instead participate in retirement plans administered on the state and local levels. The history of those retirement plans provides valuable information for policymakers attempting to reform the federal program.\nhttp://www.socialsecurity.org/pubs/ssps/ssp-16es.html

Most states have made dls without the SSN on them. If your license needs to be renewed you will probably get a new number on your dl. \n\nPS Did you know that your SSN is not to be used for identification?
