Does Section 6 (social security numbers on certain applications) violate a right of privacy?
Section 7 of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 [5 U.S.C.S. § 552a note] does not prohibit disclosure of social security numbers but generally makes it unlawful for a state or local governmental agency to deny an individual any right or benefit provided by law because of the individual’s refusal. However, it is not unlawful if disclosure is required by federal statute. 42 U.S.C. § 666(a)(13) requires that states obtain social security numbers from applicants for the type of licenses mentioned in Section 6 of 1997 Senate Bill No. 140 so it is not unlawful for the state to require an applicant for such licenses to disclose the applicant’s social security number. Consequently, we find no violation of a federal statutory right of privacy. c. Do Sections 8 through 24 (administrative procedures), Section 34 (lien on personal property) and Section 76 (lien on real property) violate a right of privacy? Virtually, every governmental action interferes with personal privacy to some degree. Katz v. U
