Default Beware those under 65 also
This was in the SPEEA (aerospace engineers union) newsletter awhile back. It said to go online and set up an account even if you are not yet applying for social security.
It said a lot of people are finding that crooks are applying for social security benefits for people who have turned 62 and as they use a different address and deposit info than yours you may never know about it until you try to apply at 65 or 69.

I find it really irritating that the Social Security Admin doesn't send a notice to the address listed on your tax return. The article said they don't share that kind of info and if you have never applied or set up an account they assume the info entered online is correct and that the person entering the info is you. There is also a problem with people filing bogus tax returns to get your refund. Their only suggestion for that was to adjust your withholding or quarterly tax payments so you aren't getting a refund.
