In the past, many institutions would send out mail with your Social Security number on it (in addition to other information) usually for their own convenience. Under a new law, which went into effect July 1, a Social Security number may not be printed on any materials that are mailed to an individual, unless it is required on the document as a matter of state or federal law. Also, individuals are not required to submit their numbers over a website, unless a password or other identifying device is also required to access the site.
