On their form, it asks for an SSN, of course. Well, Kaiser is not a government agency, and is certainly not associated with the Social Security Adminisrtation in any way, so they have no legitimate need for my SSN, and I don't want to give it to them. I'm wondering how best to go about doing this: 1. I could make up an SSN and give it to them. I basically just have to make sure it's one that hasn't been taken, and corresponds to my real birth county, right? ================================ Try this instead.... 1. Get copies of the forms they wish you to sign. 2. Re-image and delete any wording which "certifies under perjury" that the information is correct. Add or change the revision numbering sequence info, so later you can counter claims it was a fraudulent submission ("Hey, check the revision number, its not your form you accepted but mine.)
