Federal law now requires that employers with over 100 employees check an online database to make sure the ID, social security number and date of birth all match. If one item is different, you will no be allowed to continue to work.

AnswerThe use of another person's SSN is a violation of federal law regardless of the status of the user. A U.S. citizen who uses another person's SSN to obtain employment, open a bank account, apply for credit and so forth would be just as guilty of violating SS laws as would an illegal immigrant.

Why are you trying to deprive yourself of future benefits? You want your own number against the taxes paid so that you get credit for working all those years.
