What method does the Internal Revenue Service use to assign Social Security numbers?
“The Privacy Act of 1974 requires us to give each person the following notice when applying for a Social Security number. Sections 205(c) and 702 of the Social Security Act allow us to collect the facts we ask for on this form. We use the facts you provide on this form to assign you a Social Security number and to issue you a Social Security card. You do not have to give us these facts, however, without them we cannot issue you a Social Security number or a card. Without a number, you may not be able to get a job and could lose Social Security benefits in the future. (FN-1) http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/greenslade.
