I do not think it is possible to get a new number. I really don't.
I would, 1. file a police report (you are documenting you are not in collusion with the theif).
2. File a fraud package with the medical companies.
3. If your employee knew and didnt tell you, obviously its wrong.
4. Why are you the head of a bank and you have such crappy sentence structure?
5. Call your VA rep. FIle a report with them. They might not care, but you should document it all.

To my knowledge the only way a person can qualify for a new social security number is if that person is trying to escape domestic violence, harrassment or abuse. To do so, much evidence needs to be presented to social security. I understand that they will assist you by letting you know what evidence you will need to present. With this said, it does not seem to mean that the person is going to be able to reestablish better credit. The reason for this is because credit reporting agencies are able to cross reference your old number with your new one. The idea behind the new number is to become less visable. You can contact the social security office in your area and they can explain things to you further. Since you're not trying to escape domestic violence, there are many huge negative aspects to changing a social security number. Applying for a new number is a big decision. It may impact your ability to interact with federal and state agencies, employers and others. This is because your financial, medical, employment and other records will be under your former Social Security number. Check out the website for further information. http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/

Additionally, if you haven't done so already you need to contact the three major credit reporting agencies and tell them about your problem and ask that they put alerts on your social security number. Flags will go up each time someone tries to use your social security card for any type of credit and you will be contacted.
You should also contact your local police department to discuss your options as well. Getting a new social security number is most likely not the answer.
Good luck to you.

SS will not issue new numbers in the event of ID theft. Even though this number was never intended to be an identifier, it has become one obviously. To change a SSN would mean every single file, with your number on it, that has EVER been opened, ANYWHERE, would have to be appended with the new number, as a cross reference.
Banks, Dental, Medical, IRS, School, Insurance, Driving, mortgage, financial, investment records, just to name a few...it is virtually impossible to update all these files with a new SSN.

You have to get a new social security number directly from the Social Security Administration. (See link below.) It CAN be done, but it's a huge pain.
If you haven't already, you also need to file with the Federal Trade Commission (also linked below.)

You can get a new number, but it will be even harder to prove that that is you. What you need is your actual identity restored and then have it monitored and get alerts if it happens again. I can show you a service like that, if that is of intereste.
