I tried to open an account with the SS web page, but the security questions included no answers that were correct.
The SS person I talked to on the phone said security questions are generated from credit reports. When I pointed out that someone else must be using my number, his only remedy was to freeze my account, which I did.
The SS couldn’t care less about misuse of our SS numbers.
Government drones...there are 60,000 of them in the Soc Sec Admin...I will say once you start receiving deposits they seem to show up on schedule pretty consistently...that part is all automated.
That happened to me also. However, in my case they got some info about my daughter mixed in with mine.
