You bring up another good point. The SS Administration claims no responsibility to check and notify any multiple use of a person's SS#. They feel it is a big wind fall for them I have heard.

The citizen whose SSAN is compromised can face a big tax problem when it's discovered. He can owe income taxes on the phantom income reported to SSA by the illegal.

The Social Security Administration is coming around. There was a case recently in which a kid's SSAN was used by an illegal for over 15 years; then, when the kid began working, he got socked for taxes. IRS and SSA are now pursuing the illegal and his employer; the illegal has been arrested on a tax beef.

The feds knew it wouldn't "do" to go after a teenager who was about two years old when his SSAN was filched and abused by an illegal immigrant.
