Dear RSI Client, On June 25, 2011, the Social Security Administration (SSA) changed the way Social Security Numbers (SSN) are assigned. This change is known as "randomization." What is Randomization? The SSA traditionally assigned nine-digit SSNs in a particular pattern.

Or, you may think you don’t have time even to set up a meeting – and even if you
