The Importance of Your Social Security Number

June 30th, 2008 by admin

I remember how excited I was to apply for a social security card. We applied during our junior year in high school through school. Today in order for parents to claim deductions for their child on their income taxes the child must have a social security number. Today applications for social security cards are given out at hospitals when children are born. Your child must be taught that his or her social security number is very important. A stolen social security number can lead to a stolen identity, which can be very difficult if not impossible to fix. Make sure you place any social security cards in a safe, but accessible spot in your home.
