Same here.
However I knew in the military it was our ID#. It was required when
you wrote a check at the PX or the comisary.
When you got food the sign in sheet asked for your last 4.
When you fill out a credit app. your SS# has to be on it.
It has become a defacto federal ID card.
In some foreign countries they issue ID cards. The US has never had
a universally recognized ID card.
I mentioned that up in Canada they issue everyone a SIN card which is
similar to our SS#. However It is not used the same (I do not think
as an ID) But the funny part is, it is issued on a hard plastic
card. While our SS cards are flimsy paper.

I agree it has become an ID number. I always have laughed, though,
because when I was younger the Social Security card used to state on
it that it was NOT to be used as an ID.
