DoD to Drop SSN From IDs

Week of April 11, 2011
Social Security numbers on military identification cards will soon begin to disappear. The effort is part of a larger plan to protect servicemembers and other Department of Defense (DoD) identification card holders from identity theft. Beginning in June, when current cards expire, they will be replaced with new cards having a DoD identification number, which will be a unique 10-digit number that is assigned to every person with a direct relationship with the department. The new number will also be the servicemember's Geneva Convention identification number. An 11-digit DoD benefits number also will appear on the cards of those people eligible for DoD benefits.
For complete information on all military benefits, visit the ************* Benefits Center.

About time, I was a victim of identity theft because of that chit, Semper Fidelis.

I remember the time when all the military credit unions used SSNs as the account number.
