Best Answer

There are a number of situations, such as when you are applying for a job, or opening a bank account, when you are required to give your social security number. There are other situations in which it would not be appropriate for you to be asked for your social security number, such as, when ordering a hamburger. Nonetheless, it is not illegal to ask for a social security number - people can pretty much ask anything they want to ask, since we enjoy freedom of speech. If you are asked for a number and you don't wish to give it, you don't have to.
