SSN's and ID Theft

[Fairlight]

With neither thought nor caution, Bob Rasmussen blurted:
> So, has anyone looked at the SSN website to address this question?

Never thought to.  Know the URL?

It's not like they're likely to be solvent when I'm old enough to collect
regular SS, and they've been claiming to be too broke to pay SSI to people
like myself that actually qualify for it according to medical professionals
(as does [for example] a licensed nurse friend of mine in Florida who
became afflicted with MS and -completely- lost her livelihood--she's fought
with them for at -least- two years now and figures she might collect
something within another year or five), so they're of zero use to me and
most of the people I care about.  I have a SSN because I'm legally required
to have and be screwed over with one to subsidise their loans to government
operations of which I certainly don't approve--you know, ones included in
that stack of IOU's left over the last several decades that passes for a
"fund".

So...thinking about the presence of them online isn't at the top of my
thoughts, given the above.  :-/  Never even crossed my mind, honestly.

Bitter?  Me?  Never.  </sarcasm>
