I was talking on the phone with my cousin today. She has worked as a
substitute teacher in several schools. She is between jobs. One of
the things she mentioned was that they require her to furnish her SSN
on job applications. Since the wrong person could do some serious
damage with your SSN, I really think it is a bad idea to have to
furnish them for a job application.


How would she get SS credits, otherwise?


This was just for the application, not in the pre-hire phase. My
guess is that they use that to run background checks.
