The Fed assigned a previously used SS# and recycled it to Zero?

I work for the Social Security Administration. This is not possible as the SSA does not recycle numbers. From the SSA website:

Q20: Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?

A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder's death. Even though we have issued over 415 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.
