Social Security Numbers
A Social Security number is used for employment purposes, and allows you to collect Social Security benefits and receive some other government services. In general, you are only required to provide your social security number for IRS tax related purposes. Just because an agency asks for it, does not mean you are required to provide it. You can always ask why someon needs it before you give it out.
