Expert Solution

• If a business, healthcare provider, or other organization asks for your Social Security number, offer an alternate form of identification. Often, businesses ask for this for one reason only – debt collection. The SSN is not needed to file medical insurance claims.

• Do not carry your card with you. If your purse or wallet is stolen, the last thing you want is for the thief to get your SSN card too.

• Lock your SSN card in a safe at home. A fireproof safe will protect your card from a thief or fire in your home.

• Never use your SSN as a password.

• Shred any documents that have your SSN on them.

• Monitor your bank and credit card accounts.

• Check with the Social Security Administration on a regular basis to check your Social Security status (www.socialsecurity.gov).
