Can You Apply For A New Social Security Number If Your Identity Has Been Compromised?

If your identity has been compromised can you apply for a new social security number; and if so, how do you go about getting a new number?

Hi,

Social Security will only issue a different Social Security number (SSN) to someone under rare and specific circumstances. Identity theft is one of those circumstances, but you'll still need to convince Social Security that you'll disadvantaged in some way if you aren't issued a new SSN.

If I Get A New Social Security Number, Can The Welfare Office Still Find Me?

If I get a brand new SSN, can welfare still find me under my new number even though is not provided to them?

Can you please answer me quickly, as I'm going to start a new job on Tuesday and I don't want them to run my SSN.

I'm been harrassed but I'm still unable to find proof and I m working with a private detective
