Thread: Employers handing out SS #'s ?

Thought this was an interesting comment from Lou Dobbs tonight. I wouldn't be at all surprised that this is true.

ROMANS: The government has begun cracking down on the rings that provide the numbers and the documents necessary to work illegally, but whenever a mill is dismantled another one springs up. Worse, ID theft expert Jay Foley says in some cases he thinks employers may be themselves handing out the numbers to workers, using old numbers from personnel files, because it's not a crime to give someone another Social Security number, it's just a crime...

DOBBS: Employers would do that?

ROMANS: He suspects so.

I saw this too. It sure wouldn't be hard to determine if that's what they were doing. Can you imagine? Sounds like grounds for a class action lawsuit by the ex-employees.
