Elon Musk finds Social Security system full of duplicate numbers

[EvilCat Breath]

Thank you!

We did eventually unravel her benefits. I don't think that there there is any cross checking of SSN's and who is using what. The IRS handled income tax returns and directs withholding. SSA administers payment of benefits. It's not like those data bases interact. When I was audited, the discrepancy came up because the other woman, in Fresno, filed under MY SSN claiming head of household with five children. Asking for proof of five children was a routine query. Had they not audited me, it could have gone on for years. When this woman was caught, she was given a TIN. No prosecution, nothing.

One of the good thing GW Bush did was change to a different numbering system The required change was first outlined in the DOD Social Security Number Reduction Plan and then-President GW Bush's Task Force on Identity Theft Strategic Plan in 2007.

Thanks! I knew they changed it when I ordered a new set many years later.

That's what usually happens, they find the mistakes years later after the funds have already been paid out. Then you get a dumbass overpayment letter.

Every person would not be applying for an SSN. SSNs are now issued at birth, you ignoramus!

You can get a SSN number w/o being born here.

Your reply speaks volumes about your education. Or lack thereof.

I have plenty enough that I don't have to steep that low.

Gosh, grow an argument. Please.

I find myself agreeing with you a lot, though.

No. You have to be a naturalized citizen to get an SSN. Otherwise, it is a TIN.

This is the real Social Security and Medicare issue while Progs promote that Republicans are going to kill the elderly. Money can be saved.

Democrats killed a lot of elderly, chronically I'll and finished off terminal patients with COVID.

No, you have to prove you are here working legally and you can get one.

' an SSN'?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is a TIN.

 

[Delldude]

That is a TIN.

Go look it up, you're wrong.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Go look it up, you're wrong.

The ITIN is used for people who pay taxes that are not eligible for an SSN. That is the entire purpose of it.

I did look it up, asshole!

Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN): Issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to certain nonresident and resident aliens, their spouses, and their dependents when they're ineligible for SSNs. They're arranged in the same format as an SSN (XXX-XX-XXXX). The Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) always begins with a 9. The applicant must complete Form W-7 and submit documents supporting their resident status to get an individual tax ID number.

What Is a Tax Identification Number (TIN)?

A tax identification number (TIN) is also known as a taxpayer identification number and identifies taxpayers and is used by the IRS for tax administration.

Go look it up for crying out loud.

Do you also need to revive the proper use of "a" and an"?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I edited the post to prove you wrong. Read it again. You obviously did not look it up.

From your post, Admiral.... aren't you the English teacher?

No. You have to be a naturalized citizen to get an SSN. Otherwise, it is a TIN.

 

[Delldude]

Gee Mr Google, can noncitizens get a SSN?
