Though this is in the state of Nevada similar laws are being passed around the country. As of 1 January 2007, no one, including the government, can require a person to include a social security number on a document except for the usual government exclusions. The statute is NSR 239B.030 - confidentiality of social security numbers.
What this means is you do not have to give out your social security number unless required by law. We have been very successful at not giving out our social security number - just refuse.
