Is it really that big a deal?
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.

There’s an easy step you can take
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.
