Fla. Supreme Ct. Case Challenges SSN Identifier: 09/30/05

[Guest guest]

Attorneys will argue today before the Florida Supreme Court that a rule

requiring injured workers to divulge their Social Security numbers to open

claims violates the Federal Privacy Act and, in some instances, the

Constitution's Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination.

******************************

I don't have the details on this. This issue of forcing people to give up their

SSN for insurance claims, drivers licenses, medical care, and other day to day

business has been criticized for years now. It will interesting to see how the

court rules on this.
