Let me help you out. Joe Smith is 555 66 7777. Jose Smith also uses 555 66 7777 for his number at Chick-Fil-A. What happens? The Social Security Administration sees 555 66 7777 gaining credits, based on wages, faster than normal that stop at a maximum of four credits per year. With the dual income you gain those four credits faster, that's all. Does Joe, who needs 40 credits for SS benefits give a fuck? No, he's gaining credits faster than he would alone, maybe even gaining them when he isn't working. That's it.Again, dumb as a rock. You use your SS# when you open bank accounts or credit accounts and the transactions that go through those accounts are reported to credit agencies, which means if your SS# has been used in this way, businesses and financial institutions will hold you responsible for the actions or these thieves used your SS# for.When someone steals your credit card that can be a problem you. When someone uses your SS number that's a problem for Social Security.Some will use it just to work and some will use to rip you off. You have no way of knowing which until it happens. That's why it is so stupid of you to dismiss it as not your problem.They use it to work. It's not about identity theft.That's really stupid. If they use your SS# to establish credit and they don't pay, your credit will be shot.The numbers were not stolen. They did not take it away. They were used falsely, with no harm to the person legally assigned it so there's no reason to tell them.
If 50 wetbacks use my number that's a problem for the federal government not me. I don't give a rat's ass.
When it becomes a problem is when Joe retires and can take benefits and they have to figure out what did Joe earn versus the other guy? That's when he might care but not until then.
