It sure is. Your Social Security number is the key to the castle. It’s the unique identifier that connects your financial, government and personal records.
With your SSN, criminals can open credit card accounts, apply for loans, hijack your tax refunds, use your government benefits or even apply for jobs.
To safeguard your Social Security number, use the government’s free Self Lock feature. This tool prevents your SSN from being used for unauthorized employment verifications. You’ll need an E-Verify account to do this online.
