The only facility that does not require full SS# is “VA” facilities, and then is only “Last Four”.

Most commonly you will hear in TV more CC# blurted out while in public talking on a phone. Maybe it’s a certain older age group, that doesn’t think it could be a problem. Then at that age group is also ripe for the phone scam “your grand______ is in jail send money” or you just won $100,000 send gift cards to claim.

This post was just a heads up on even though TV feels safe, one really needs to keep up their guard, even in your own lanai.
I ignore line asking for ss number and nobody has asked for it.
