From Article:"When asked, “How long does a social security number have to be set aside after a [death] . . when can it be used again after someone dies?” a Social Security agent named “Kathy” said “it can’t be used again. . once it’s been assigned, it can’t be used again. . .”

I don't believe that. Several years ago when my grandson was 16 he went to get a fishing license. They asked for his SS No. He gave it to them they entered it into the computer and then they said this SS was issued to a World War II veteran, and you don't look to be that old. When my daughter contacted the SS office (I can't remember exactly what was said) but the drift was basically it was OK.
