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.

    Yeah, personally, I have questions about the luhn check myself. (I am not in a state to research more this evening, unfortunately.)

      I’ll save you the bother. It doesn’t have one. :)

      If it did, there wouldn’t be enough numbers for everyone to have a unique one.
