A SSN is the identification used by the IRS to track how much you owe in taxes or how much you overpaid. It's called a tax identification number (TIN).

Without this number you are unable to access "gainful employment" and other modem luxuries and conveniences, like utilities.

So then issuing a new TIN that functions like the SSN may certainly be coming around the corner soon, along with a new digital currency. Wild.
