If you are refinancing you have a money transfer and unless your home is a 72 winnie it more than $10,000. I know same bank same $$$ but it is a new loan on the same property. Also the interest is IRS deductable and the info is on forms sent to the IRS seems your SSN is on the IRS forms. Same with interest and dividends paid you, it all goes to the IRS.
Just part of our times.

I spent 30 years in the US Coast Guard, and since about 1973, ALL services used SS#s in place of serial numbers. I've heard that they were going to start issuing different serial numbers, but don't know if us retirees will ever get one or not.

Postscript

We were never asked for our Social Security cards at settlement yesterday. We did have to sign separate forms the each of our respective numbers was the correct number for us and another form saying that it was illegal for us to lie about any of the information that we provided on any of the forms (duh).

We signed forms and then we signed other forms saying that we had signed the first forms. It was a process that only a lawyer could love.....

LEN, that was part of my original point. Our Social Security numbers were several places in the refinance package already including the credit reports. Having us have to show our SS cards on top of that just took it a step too far.

I lost my SS card when I was maybe 16 and have never replaced it. In all the years since then I've never been asked for the card. I always give my SS number when requested to banks and government officials. However, recently I was requested to give it to an engineering firm that I was about to do business with. I refused to do so out of concern for identity theft. I paid a 50% retainer instead.

I'm just wondering if we are going to start needing SS cards. Isn't that one of the cards they require of illegals?

In RI you now have to show your SS card to renew your drivers license and it can not be laminated or they won't accept it.
ACLU is fighting it!
