No, just the opposite. The SSA doesn't reuse SS numbers. So if another person is using one of the posted numbers, it is obvious that he is doing it illegally. In fact, the SSA publishes the death list with SS numbers141hemselves so it may be checked for fraudulent use by living persons.

There is one case when you will see the same number used by two people - Some wives never got their own SSA number - and used their husband's number. Today that situation does not exist, but going back into older records you may well see that. -----Original Message----- From: norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of DULCICH6@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 2:00 PM To: norcal@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NORCAL] CADI and SSN No, just the opposite.
