What can Social Security Numbers be used for?
It was back in 1936 when Social Security numbers were first used. Since then, the use of SSN has expanded considerably. At the beginning, they were mainly used to track the earnings of workers.
So, it was basically used to keep track of workers’ earnings history to know if they were entitled to benefits or not. Nowadays, it has also become an almost universal identifier.
Usually, it is assigned at birth. Social Security numbers allow U.S. Government Agencies to identify individuals in both businesses and records. In this way, they can track financial information easily.
