| Question: |
I want to sign up for a class at a local community college. I called the admissions office when I saw that the application form requested my social security number and driver license number. The lady kept saying "We require a social security number." She said it serves as an ID and that they also need to verify California residency.
Do you know if they can legally require people's SS#? I'm a little concerned about making a fuss about this in their office because maybe my application will mysteriously not be approved. Should I just give them my TIN or use one of the methods you describe on p.101-102 of your book and act as if this is my true SS#? I don't know if they'll actually run the number to verify it.

| Answer: |
See if they will assign you another number, as some colleges do. You may have to ask to see a supervisor. |
