New Social Security Card - Legally!

Last Update Dec 19, 2011

Yes, you can get a new social security card in a new name. Most people still believe that it's impossible - but a brand new social security program makes it much easier.

I had a very interesting chat with a social security worker the other day. He revealed that in 2010 the social security administration had authorized the issuing of new social security numbers to over ten thousand people! He predicted that that number will climb even higher over the next few years.

For far too many years the bureaucrats at the social security administration have steadfastly refused to allow individuals to change their social security number - no matter how dire the individual's personal circumstances.

Then when several women and their children were murdered in cold blood because they couldn't change their social security numbers in order to escape a stalker, the publicity created so much heat the government was forced to change it's policy. The social security administration has now announced a new program designed to help individuals in danger change their numbers.

Now for the very first time the bureaucrats will actually let you change your social security number. But first you'll have to do some paper work. (Keep in mind that a victim who can qualify for a new social security number could at any point in the future change their name legally.)

At first the requirements may seem a bit tricky, but they're really not all that strict when you examine them in detail. We know more than a dozen people who have successfully changed their numbers and it wasn't at all difficult. You just need to know the regulations and how they are applied. In short, to qualify under this new policy, you'll need to document that you've had your identity stolen or have been abused by another.

If you feel that you now qualify for a social security number change under this new program - apply immediately. If you can't get a SSA clerk to cooperate, politely ask for their supervisor and see if they will be more sympathetic. If they refuse, take the whole matter to your senator or congressman. It's your representative’s job to help you iron out any problems you may be having with various government agencies including the social security administration.

Though they will never admit it, government bureaucrats deeply fear citizens who are active letter writers and complainers. As long as no one complains to a higher authority, these clerks can get away with murder (which is what they've been doing for some years now by ignoring abused spouses) but when you get someone with some real power behind them, the whole situation can rapidly change. They know that a single letter from a Senator can land an entire agency in some very hot water.

Here are the Social Security Administration's notes (taken from their official manual):

You must prove that someone else is actually using your social security number to:

1. Illegally apply for government benefits (welfare, food stamps, unemployment compensation, or educational loans).

2. Obtain store credit accounts or credit cards (in your name).

3. Obtain employment (illegal aliens, fugitive criminals).

4. Pursue other illegal activities

5. Hide income from lawful taxation.

6. Evade lawful prosecution for past crimes.

7. Harass and/or stalk you.

8. Cash in government bonds (taxes are due from the person cashing in the bonds, not the purchaser)

9. File fraudulent income tax returns (claiming non existent refunds)
