Good call. But 'sageridder' has supplied the snopes say on this.
Now, another way to think about it. If you choose not to use an automated system, and wish to speak directly to individuals, you have chosen to introduce the possibility of your SSN being written down, kept, and or tossed out in regular trash.
SSNs, bah. It was my service number for 22+yrs, it is my VA account number along with my Retire Dental, and Tricare for life account number, for, well life. So, it's not like it's posted on all corrospondence, all program cards, and again on my retiree ID card. So, bah whats another agency? - Good Call!
