No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder's death. Even though we have issued over 420 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.

I was reading an article and they said that they were actually recycling SS numbers already. They had a problem because some guy faked his death to get out of paying child support, and they had already reused his SS number...crazy huh?
