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.

Just getting you on record Bot. You give ground where ever you can.
So you are trying by licking and cover up for your boss, who pays, you to post distractions of the REAL issue, namely his multiple SS#???
Youve just outed again FINO!!!
Psst...if Obama has multiple Social Security Numbers and if he has used them, any U.S. Attorney can indict and prosecute him for fraud and identity theft and that would inevitably lead to his impeachment and removal from office.
You have my permission to smile now.

Exactly. If a husband dies young and leaves behind four kids, then six people are then 'associated' with that number because they can draw benefits off that earnings record.
You also see multiple names associated with one number due to marriages and divorces - most women will at least have two names associated with their number (maiden and married names). Additionally, minor variances could appear as multiple names. It would not be uncommon at all to see Robert Jones, Robert A Jones, Robert Andrew Jones, Bob Jones, and Bob A Jones all listed on the same number.
Looks like the Obot response team is on Orange Alert. It only took what, two days since the Globe article for them to manufacture this?
Sure you do. You'll say enough or whatever you think that will give you cover that you believe is the unlikelihood of it happening... so not to get yourself zotted.
I think it’s hilarious how people are still trying to make a conspiracy out of this social security number business. They clearly don’t know how the databases from which these numbers are drawn from work (or don’t work, as is often the case). Have they ever stopped to ask themselves why anyone would even want multiple social security numbers attached to their name? That’s not how identity fraud works.

I think that Obama is CON-man.
So what one did he use? The Connecticut Social Security number? Why don't you show us what one that one was?
And while you're at it show us the Social Security number that Obama used to work at Baskin Robbins in 1975.
Very interesting, thanks for the replies FRiends.
I am surprised that all confidential info wasn’t redacted but then again, we are dealing with the government here.
Strange situation but nobody will ever ask him about it...Again.
It sure was funny when Baghdad Bob Gibbs stuttered like an idiot when he was asked about it at a presser. He even digs himself in deeper by claiming “he” put the BC from Hawaii on the internet.

Gibbs: I eye I I uuuuuuh aaaah ...aaahh mmmmmmmmm.... oh well... aahhh uuuhmmm....
Gibbs can't or won't give an answer.
Roberta Gibbels steers the conversation to Obama's BS birth certificate.
"I've seen the birth certificate I put it on the Internet."
At least Gibbs admits he is a fraud.
He went to the office and applied for it.
Just how much did it take for you to sell out your country?
I'd say she/he/it takes whatever "salary" the DNC or Soros pays.
Each American is issued on and only one SS number. I have ran into people with 5 or 6 SS cards on them and of course they were all illegal( I was a Police Officer). I assumed these were also counted on the “survey”. As for myself I have one of the most common names in America, I assume that If my name was checked it could show thousands of numbers associated with my name. It does not mean that I have thousands of SS numbers. As I learned in college a person with less than honest intentions can play with numbers and present a vary different view from the real truth. It appears to have happened here.

That’s a long walk across a lot of water, are you saying Obie is the messiah?
