Fox news reported a study done today.
It has been reported that 75% of percent of working-age illegal aliens are committing felony document fraud by using fraudulent Social Security cards to obtain employment. The Social Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service facilitate illegal immigrant-driven identity theft. Both turn a blind eye to massive SSN fraud and take no action to stop it. Many illegal aliens use a combination of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) and fraudulent SSNs to obtain tax refunds that they are not entitled to. The IRS has issued about 15 million ITINs since 1996, with a large share believed to be assigned to illegal aliens.
One of these 40 million people who had their identity stolen needs to file a lawsuit against the SSA to force them into telling the true owner of the ssn that their identity has been compromised. The damage someone can do with it is enourmous. The SSA claims they have to protect the privacy of the criminals!!!! The truth is the SSA and the IRS is receiving a huge amount of money fraudulently and now they can't stop being corrupt. Nice message they are sending.
News Release 20 Million Americans Have Multiple Social Security Numbers Associated With Their Name Research from ID Analytics Shows High Rate of Duplication Among SSNs
SAN DIEGO, CA, August 11, 2010 –More than 20 million Americans have multiple Social Security numbers (SSNs) associated with their name in commercial records according to a new study announced today from ID Analytics, Inc., a leader in consumer risk management. The study also found that rather than serving as a unique identifier, more than 40 million SSNs are associated with multiple people.
ID Analytics conducted the industry's most comprehensive examination of SSNs using its ID Network®, the nation's only real-time, cross-industry compilation of identity information. It examined more than 280 million SSNs to determine discrepancies.
"Our research shows that Social Security numbers, contrary to popular perception, do not uniquely identify an individual," said Dr. Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer, ID Analytics. "Most of these cases of duplication are likely due to simple data entry errors as opposed to deliberate falsification. Nevertheless, organizations expose themselves and their customers to risk if they solely rely on the SSN to verify an individual."
Other highlights of the study include:
How many SSNs do you have? - 6.1 percent of Americans have at least two SSNs associated with their name. More than 100,000 Americans have five or more SSNs associated with their name. Some SSNs are very popular - More than 15 percent of SSNs are associated with two or more people. More than 140,000 SSNs are associated with five or more people. Significantly, more than 27,000 SSNs are associated with 10 or more people.
While most of the discrepancy is due to data entry errors in business transactions that use SSNs, some duplication is also likely linked to fraud. Consumers can check their risk of identity fraud at MyIDScore.com. This free online service gives consumers immediate insight into whether their personal identifiable information is being used fraudulently to obtain assets, goods or services.
About ID Analytics, Inc. ID Analytics is transforming consumer risk management with patented analytics, proven expertise, and real-time insight into consumer behavior.

This explains Obaama’s use of multiple SSN’s...he’s an illegal alien.
thats why this report came out
Aren’t there like 15 SSNs associated with our Dear Leader?
Big deal. This could be fixed if the ssan were linked with the real person and the paycheck was mailed to that person.
Talk about a silver lining....
So...let’s say someone else is using MY Soc Sec #...doesn’t that mean they are contributing to my pay (I haven’t paid into SS for about 20 years - haven’t been “working”)...Does that mean my account will be affected for my retirement calculations? Or does that mean some illegal will eventually SUE me for THEIR part of the Soc Sec They “paid?”
I would say that you won’t see a dime, either way.
You stupid Freepers shouldn't bother to complain about my
department on this thread because we promise to protect your
medical records and your nude airport scans even better than
Treasury promised to protect your Social Security numbers.
/s Big Sister
Each state has its own computer system for tracking/paying/administering benefits like food stamps, AFDC, etc. Some of the crooks use the same SS# in Texas, Florida and NY to receive benefits. They can do this because the feds do not simply compare the social security numbers from one state against the others.
bttt
Ping!
Remember this story the next time someone says “We can’t just deport all the illegal immigrants.”
It would be easy, flat out easy, to make illegal immigrants self-deport. If the name & SSN don’t match in the IRS database, the employer is not allowed to issue a paycheck to that person.
No pay, no stay.
As the story points out, we KNOW who is hiring illegal immigrants simply from the SSN mis-matches. And we aren’t doing squat about it.
Your link is dead, please post the story.
I know someone who works at the IRS and she sayes that they hate this kind of thing. Note that the IRS does have an area that handles ID Theft as it relates to taxes. Multiple people using Tax Ids is an enormous waste of everyones time.
When earnings are reported they may be associated with your SSN, but also a name and the name submitting employer. If multiple people are using one SSN and you file a return, it it possible to sort out your earnings and withholding from Ms. Ima Illegal-Grande who is also using your SSN.
No clue how Social Security handles this.
Working link for most misused Social Security number story...

No one in Washington DC gives a crap about SS# fraud by illegal aliens. I think they laugh about it at cocktail parties, about how perturbed “the little people” are about this SS# fraud and illegal immigration in general. The greater DC area has grown like crazy in the last 30 years and it’s swarming with immigrants and illegal immigrants. I saw this as far back as 1990 when visiting Bethesda Maryland
All these effin hack politicians, Senators, Congressmen, their staff members, bureaucrats, lobbyists hire illegal alien nannies, cooks, roofers, handymen. They love their cheap illegal alien labor and they hate their constituents who want illegals deported
It is DC against America. DC is decadent imperial Rome and despised as such by anyone with a brain.
feh... the courts have ruled using a stolen SS# is no longer illegal!!!
question: SS sends out your yearly summery with your taxable income listed by year... if somebody was using your SS#, wouldn't your taxable income be higher on the SS form than your W2 and a tip off you had somebody else using your SS#???
