Having worked for a company that processes those job application on behalf of the clients looking to hire, you should be fine in providing your SSN. The reason they ask for it is simple, it's a great identifier as is used on criminal, driving, credit, and other background searches of your history. Hopefully you read or recall exactly what kind of searches the company looking to hire you will run.

Be aware that it is not legal to check on someone's citizenship status by running an SSN check, even though that is also why many companies ask for the number. For that, an I-9 form is required with additional signatures by the applicant as it is a separate process.

I've never even heard of places asking for your SSN without you having been guaranteed the job, that's kind of sketchy. I wouldn't say that means they are going to do anything malicious with it, but there's a chance of course. If they were going to do something with it how would going back and scratching it out help though? They could just go to the back, grab your application, copy down your SSN, then give it back to you to scratch out.


What? Almost every application (entry level jobs, obviously) i've seen asks for your SSN or part of it.

Might be different in America. I've never seen a single job application in my life that asks for it initially. They've always asked for it once you've been granted the job.

This. Every place I have applied for recently every one of them wanted it on the application.
When I think of something else, something will go here
