<div>I have a quick question for my OACRAO colleagues as I am hoping to see how other institutions handle the use of DHS assigned Social Security Numbers. Historically we have only allowed permanently assigned social security numbers and the OCCC assigned
number to be placed in the field used for social security numbers. It seems like I am getting more and more DHS assigned temporary social security numbers that students want me to use in place of their social security number. I have stood my ground in most
situations, but I had a situation today where a student who wants to use that number is also employed at OCCC. As a result, our HR department is adamant about using that number so that they may get paid. Obviously I will need to give in on this one as I
don’t want to impact the student’s financial situation. </div>

<div>So, I am curious, how many out there allow that number to be used in place of a social security number? I see the number as any other temporary number and it would be like me taking a temporary number assigned by another institution and using it at OCCC.
Am I looking at this number correctly? Is there something I am missing? Please keep in mind that the last 4 digits of this number still print out on an OCCC transcript, which adds to some of my concern.</div>
