I didn't see a box for SSN on the FEMA ID form? I'm not worried about whether ACE is legit, I'm sure they are, what I'm worried about is the security of my SSN. Every time you give that out somewhere, that's another place for identity theft to potentially happen, whether internally or externally. Schools aren't using SSN anymore to identify people, they are generating their own SIDs. Identity theft is a real problem and I have really good credit and score and would like to keep it that way. The less places that are storing my name and number together, the less the risk of identity theft.
