I missed the SSN requirement... it's not obvious to me why SSN
would appear anywhere in this. If it's being used as a unique
handle, generate an arbitrary unique ID. You absolutely *don't*
want to have people critical information like SSN's stored
anywhere that is not required (e.g. in payroll databases or
other repositories where there is an otherwise unavoidable
legal requirement to have it).

You really don't want to be held responsible for someone
being the victim of identity theft.

Just sayin'
