There was some mention on TOTV in the past about people stealing social security numbers and setting up accounts on line at SSA.gov using the victim's ID. The advice was to go to the website and establish your own password-protected account. I tried to do so, but as our credit is frozen, SSA.gov denied access. I figure that's okay; if I can't access my info, neither can others.
