What they can however ask for is to take a picture of your face and or see your license to verify you are who you say you are as many people that are illegal use someone else's Medicare card to get free treatment.

Re: social security number.
I'm sure the criminals know. It likely was your student ID number. I find it spooky how easy it is to find information on anyone. My sister was all bent out of shape about something called SPOKEO. The information on me said I am over 150 and have more money than Buffet. Recently, it has gotten closer to the truth. It also says I am related to only one listed is my Aunt. I can only guess she looked me up and either she or the company updated my files. Amusing, she is quite elderly, she does not know my birthday and put in the wrong date.
