SSN numbers are good for 999,999,999 people alive or dead. At some point the US will hit that, right? Do we start reusing numbers? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

    Probably recycle the oldest ones because those people will be long dead by then.

    But let’s not kid ourselves, everyone paying into SS right now is never going to get the benefit of it because it will have collapsed.
