Yes, they can ask whatever they want. However, unless the job requires a background check for which such information is necessary, I would wait until you're actually hired before providing that information if you're unsure if the company is legitimate. Now, if it's a job at a huge company like McDonald's or Blockbuster or IBM or something like that, they're probably not looking to commit identity fraud or do anything else unseemly. But, if it's a small company that you've never heard of or a single employer, the job does not require a background check, you haven't been told that you've been hired and the prospective employer still asks for this info, it's a little odd. Also, never provide such info to a prospective employer online. I've seen prospective employers via websites like Monster and Hotjobs reply to applicants stating that the job requires a background check and that they can't proceed with your application until you fill out lengthy application forms that include things like your SS#, credit background, etc. Never provide personal information like that via email to a person you've never seen or spoken to.
