Realistic Importance of Social Security Numbers
Many of us know what a social security number is because we have been issued by the government with our own number. But do we actually know what it really signifies? I mean, we know what it is for but do we know how important it is? I think not. Majority of us even don't understand what the real purpose and have remained ignorant about it.
Others may think that this is just one of the hundreds of programs that the government provides and some don't care at all. For this reason, safeguarding our social security number has been taken for granted, and worst, some even just ignore it.
Social security number should not be used as an identification card or a proof of identity like drivers license and company ID. These numbers actually signifies a particular retirement account and they can be compared to our own savings account in a bank.
To make things easier, these numbers represent an account and definitely not you as a person. The main purpose was to classify a retirement account and the owner is being named in the card.
Sometimes, those individuals who are working will most likely be asked by their employers for their SSN so that deductions for payroll for social security could be credited automatically to the account. But what's happening is more and more employers are using it as employee numbers which is actually valid but because of this, the usage of SSN has grown instantaneously which is definitely one of the reasons why we have a growing number of SSN related offenders - identity thieves!
Many ways are made available for us to use in order to decrease the spread of our ssn and one of these ways is to make sure that we are aware of the consequences of disclosing our ssn to others especially those non government agencies. Doing these things can assure us that our ssn can carry on with its main purpose; hence, the benefits will be with us. - 23211
