You are correct. The Federal Parent Locator Service is required to collect and deliver worker SSN and last known employer N&A to state officers for purposes of enforcing child support payments and kidnapping investigation, but for no other law enforcement use. ssa.gov There are also a number of specific exceptions requiring the SSA to deliver SSN (but not addresses of last employers including food stamp fraud investigations which is a form of welfare fraud. It is generally true, I believe, except for child support and welfare and social security fraud that the Social Security files cannot be used for general law enforcement investigations and the SS Administrator is required to safeguard the confidentiality of the information although he is authorized to allow research use of the data without SSN's for relevant research. My personal view is that this information ought to be available to law enforcement agencies, federal and state, to locate a fugitive and employers should be required to respond to even an out of state subpoena to permit the agency to have the fugitive located and arrested. I also believe that the social security card should be a required identification for the I-9, and that the social security card should be reissued with a photograph every five years or so. The standard objection to a national identification system is that it makes the government into a police state. But if the state government can track an absconding parent to his current employer, why should it not be able to track a murderer or other felon? Maybe parking tickets would be too expensive to enforce this way, but I think it is absurd when a government agency knows the place of employment of a fugitive it is absurd not to share that information with law enforcement authorities.
