That may seem like a ridiculous question, but a recent study found more than 20 million Americans have multiple Social Security numbers associated with their name in commercial records.
The research was conducted by ID Analytics, a San Diego-based company that provides services to both detect identity fraud and to assess consumer identity risk and creditworthiness.
The study found that rather than serving as a unique identifier, more than 40 million SSNs were associated with multiple people.
"Our research shows that Social Security numbers, contrary to popular perception, do not uniquely identify an individual," said Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer at ID Analytics.
Many of the duplicate numbers were the result of data entry errors as opposed to deliberate falsification, but the fact that these multiple numbers exist shows that it may be difficult for an organization to rely solely on the SSN to verify an individual's identity.
Using the SSN as the sole means of identification and verification is a risky proposition," Oscherwitz said.
The study also found: More than 100,000 Americans have five or more SSNs associated with their name. 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. More than 27,000 SSNs are associated with 10 or more people.

I saw it and I see the biggest troll on FR is hard at work. NEVER since the day he joined FR has he ever been anything but a hard core progessive that hates conservatives, Republicans and anything they believe in. Either the mods are blind or they haven’t researched his past posts. It’s not even questionable, he is a troll, end of story.
Bingo!

1 Just imagine how much money Shirley is going to make from suing the pants off Brietbart! She shouldn’t take any new job until after her defamation suit is settled. And what is particularly sweet is that the white farmer in question and his wife will be character witnesses for Shirley Sherrod!
Breitbart, like most right wingers is so stupid that he edited a tape without realizing the legal consequences that stem from taking defamatory sections out of context. What an idiot! But then, he’s a right winger, so it goes with the territory.

Just search, he’s all over the internet working and doing BC damage control and bashing conservatives. Have you read his past posts on FR? From the day he arrived all he has ever done is bash conservatives. He’s a progressive troll and quite a hero over at DU.

Many conservatives are also questioning this move by Governor Palin. The Odd Palin Resignation from Newsmax:

My view is that shes a quitter. She couldnt stand the heat so Princess Sarah has left the kitchen.
I prefer when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Dig a little go back to 2005, check out his past posts and just try to find one that indicates he’s a conservative and not a troll.
Yes, wasn’t it convenient that they never suspected that a man running for the highest office in this land was multiple Social Security numbers? Can you believe it? They never looked into that? How ignorant of them!
What’s fascinating is that Obama exceeds the one-to-one relationship that every law abiding citizen abides using only one social security number.
How many Social Security numbers do you have?
One.
I can't account for every trip the man made, but that doesn't mean I can fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories.
There is no Connecticut fellow who had the same SSN. Do you even have a name? DOB?
This crackpot theory is the result of garbage data turning up in these searches, which happens all the time.
Yep. I know of at least 2 people with my name (first and last).
How many Social Security numbers do you have?
One.
We all have no standing [BS] and the statist and politicos in government including the judiciary don’t have the courage to do the right thing.
Did we ever get a satisfactory answer regarding whether or not Obama has used more than one Social Security number?

Still seeking an explanation for Obamas SSN 042-68-4425
The SSA neither issues Connecticut SSNs to Hawaiian residents nor does it recycle dead peoples SSNs

The question answers itself.
Thanks.
“Why not?”
When my wife worked the front desk at a local ER, some Hispanics would first try one SSN to get coverage, then when that one didn’t work, would whip out another one.
Hahahaaa. The only official response from Obama through his Press Secretary Roberta Gibbs was stuttering with plenty of uuuuuuhh and uuuummmmms and aaaaaaahhhhss before he deflected the question from Les Kinsolving about Obama's Connecticut Social Security number.
Thanks for the 2 links. :-)
