Are you aware that payments made to your SS# by another party are NOT credited to your account?

Question

If an illegal uses your SS# for work, the money is placed in a general usage fund....for our great leaders....of both parties.

Furthermore, Social Security WILL NOT contact you about this fraud. It's covered under the privacy act &^%*^&

The source: Social Security Administration and other news sources. The New York Times (ic!) artical covers a bit better

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand. If it's fraudulant why are they crediting any money to anybody? Why would they pay out SS to someone knowingly using someone elses number?

Answer 2

Questions that do not give sources are frustrating and generally inflammatory, in that, without a source to check, it appears to be nothing more than opinion. As a taxpayer, I am interested in protecting my investment in my future, and would really appreciate being able to review/research these types of issues. Would you kindly amend your answer to include a source, to enable me to do so? Thank you.

Answer 3

Don't they have to wait and see, if it is mine, and the name is wrong? I bet the IRS boys, would come right to my door, if the taxes weren't paid promptly.
