Seniors' Identity Theft Dilemma

Back to blog

Identity Theft

Members of our military, active and retired, have their social security number on their military identification card also. Family members of the soldier have two social security numbers on their ID card – their own SSN and the soldier’s SSN.

Please write your congressional representatives to encourage removal or at least truncation of social security numbers from government issued documents.

Visit these websites to reach them. https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml, www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Every effort to make life difficult for identity thieves is helpful.
