Does the Social Security have the ability to find duplicate social security numbers being used illegally?

Question

If it does, why aren't they doing it?

Answer 1

The can, but it usually takes around 6 months.

the problem is, they can only track it, based on SS tax's paid under that SS number.

And since alot of people, are highly mobile and work around the country, they have SS tax's being paid into their accounts, from different locations and companies.

So just how does the SS department, determine whether someone is just highly mobile, or whether it is someone else using someones SS number in another state. ?

Answer 2

if they did i could get my 12,000 back that they owe me.
was retracted from settelment.
seems someone had used it where i was not living at. and the only way to get more info is to go there.
