"It shall be unlawful. . . to deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provide by law because individuals refusal to disclose his social security number".

Title 5 USCA 552 (a)(1)

This law is also known as the Privacy Act and states that any individual damaged by the denial of a right, benefit or privilege because he lawfully refused to disclose his social security number is entitled to recover:

(a)  "actual damages sustained by the individual as a result of the refusal or failure, but in no case shall a person entitled recover receive less than the sum of $1,000.00:

Therefore, a judgment of at least $1,000.00 plus court costs and attorney's fees may be assessed against any individual, business or government agency that knowingly defies a requested right, benefit or privilege because the individual making the request refuses to disclose his social security number.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that according to law, a Social Security number must be used only in the following instances:
