Jon- If I understand you correctly, you are saying a person might have a social security number of 12-555-4391, but another person will NOT have 33-918-4391? That the SSA uses the last four digits only? Now you have me rethinking my Social Security filing system..... <g> To use your example, mine would look like:
JACKSON, John: Ky-1234 "Ky" being the issuing state of the social security number. I had been wondering when I was going to hit a duplicate number.

But I would make one small change...grin...with the SSDI file. It is my understanding that the last four digits of an SSN are unique to one person. Thus, I would file the document as [surname], [given name], [last four digits of the SSN] and the file designation would be Jackson-John-1234. I would use the hyphen as a separator just for readability. Jon Raymond Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
