When this nightmare is over, we will all need new Social Security numbers. Maybe just add another 4 digits, of our own

choosing. It would be a mess, but it is freaking me out that the Doge Bros have our SS numbers. I can see them selling them to the highest bidder, like Rump with the top-secret documents he stole and is likely continuing to steal.

Yeah. We DUers knew it. But one-third or more of the country got suckered in by the bloated tick of a conman now LaMouffette Wednesday #4

I have to cling to that one small hope. Rump is looking pretty rough. He's going to give up the ghost eventually. But LaMouffette Wednesday #7

carrying out the destruction of our country. Not single-handedly, but with the assistance, instruction, and direction of people even more evil than he is, which is hard to imagine, and the complicity of the Repub Party.

Rumor has it the GOP’ers want to reduce SS payments by 20% real soon. Perhaps those SS #’s won’t have much street value in a few more years.

you're right. Even when he croaks, Rump will be gone, but Rumpism will live on.

Freeze the 3 credit bureaus, Chexsystems, Everify and IRS accounts. You should create an online account with SSA to monitor your yearly recorded income and if someone is claiming SSA/DI in your name.

I have had to do this for the last 30+ years due to identity theft. I've had hundreds of attempts to get credit, a job or open bank accounts in my name. They will give notice when someone tried to use your SSN for credit, job or checking account.
