How secure is my Social Security information?

The SSA should be able to answer that. The CSSA has no need to seek your Social Security number or any other personal data, nor does it have any need to know it. Your Social Security statement contains your name, birthdate, and previous covered earnings figures that are required for the analysis. Your name may also be a pen name for the name on your Social Security card, if you desire.

What's included in the report?
