PROOF OF FACTS: You were Never Issued a “Social Security Number”

0. Introduction

Thesis: The Social Security Trap: Why You Were Never Assigned a “Resident” Number

To the casual observer, a Social Security Number is just a nine-digit ID. However, a closer parsing of federal regulations reveals a profound distinction between the “individual” who allegedly works for wages and the “Brand Name” entity owned by the government. If you look closely at the law, the evidence suggests that the “social security number” associated with resident status was never actually assigned to you.

This article examines the term “Social Security Number” in all its upper and lower case forms, the regulations governing its use, and concludes that you were never lawfully issued one. The table below summarizes all the main contexts for use that we will then describe:

#	Name	Origin
1	“Social Security Number”	Social Security Card, Form SSA-3000; Passport Application, Form DS-11
2	“U.S. Social Security Number”	Form I-9
3	“social security number”	20 C.F.R. § 422.103 and § 422.104
4	“social security account number”	26 U.S.C. §6109
5	“social security number”	26 C.F.R. §301.6109-1
6	“Social Security number”	20 C.F.R. § 422.103(b) and § 422.107

1. The Delineation: Lower Case vs. Upper Case

Federal regulations 20 C.F.R. § 422.103 and § 422.104 create a specific linguistic divide.These sections relate to “employees benefits”. The lowercase term—”social security number”—is used exclusively to describe administrative record-keeping for residents (DOMESTIC CIVIL U.S. persons under 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(30)(A) who are citizens or aliens) who earn “wages or self-employment income.” This is evidence from a careful reading of the STATUS of the number below under 26 C.F.R. 301.6109-1(b)(1)(i):

26 CFR § 301.6109-1 – Identifying numbers.

(g) Special rules for taxpayer identifying numbers issued to foreign persons—

(1) General rule—

(i) Social security number. 

A social security number is generally identified in the records and database of the Internal Revenue Service as a number belonging to a U.S. citizen or resident alien individual. [who both have in common a CIVIL domicile in the District of Columbia as privileged “residents”] A person may establish a different status [FOREIGN PERSON/NRA] for the number by providing proof of foreign status with the Internal Revenue Service under such procedures as the Internal Revenue Service shall prescribe, including the use of a form as the Internal Revenue Service may specify. Upon accepting an individual as a nonresident alien individual, the Internal Revenue Service will assign this status to the individual’s social security number.

In contrast, the uppercase term—”Social Security number”—is utilized in the regulations (specifically § 422.103(b) and § 422.107) when discussing the formal application process and the issuance of Form SSA-3000 to a recipient for use as a Non-Resident Alien (NRA) under 26 C.F.R. §301.6109-1(b). The SSA-3000 is the large form from which the Card is separated.

2. The SSA-3000 Discrepancy

When you receive “their” SSA card, it arrives on Form SSA-3000. If you examine this document, you will find that the lowercase “social security number” (the resident/worker version) is nowhere to be found. Instead, the form only references the uppercase “Social Security number.” Below are the specifications for the SSA-3000:

https://www.gpo.gov/docs/default-source/contract-pricing/washington-dc/ab0381s.pdf

Exhibit “C” on page 39 of 40 in the above specification provides the actual words and “letter casing” to be printed upon the card stock sent to the “mail recipient.” The phrase “Social Security number” is found in the exhibit with a lowercase “n” in the word “number” upon Exhibit “C”.

The point is, the Card stock is an exact case-type match of “Social Security number” for both the Card Stock and the regulations in 20 CFR 422.103 through 422.107 which a Non-Resident Alien (NRA) receives in the mail, which expressly says is Social Security Administration property, and the card stock is exact evidence that the number is without expression that the SSA-3000 is property of the recipient of the Card.

Crucially, the SSA-3000 and the card itself state that the “card belongs to the Social Security Administration.” This establishes that the number is not your personal property; it is the property of an independent agency in the executive branch of the government, as described in 42 U.S.C. §901:

42 U.S. Code § 901 – Social Security Administration

(a) There is hereby established, as an independent agency in the executive branch of the Government, a Social Security Administration…

(b) It shall be the duty of the Administration to administer the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program… and the supplemental security income program…

IMPORTANT NOTE: This clarifies why they require a signed Form I-9. By using a “Social Security number” misreported as a “social security number” (which you were never provided), you are mistakenly verifying that you are providing labor as a governmental unit or entity—a status that was never truly established.

3. DHS Form I-9 and I-9 Instructions

If you examine the instructions for the Form I-9 and compare it with the Form I-9, you see the use of the term “Social Security number” in the instructions, where in it is found expressed–

“Providing your 9-digit Social Security number in the Social Security number field is voluntary, unless your employer participates in E-Verify. See page 5 for instructions related to E-Verify. Do not enter an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) as your Social Security number.”

[SOURCE: See https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9instr.pdf]

However, the form I-9 makes expressly makes use of “U.S. Social Security Number” and it “exactly” meets the casing of the 20 CFR 422. 103 through 422.107 expression of Social Security number.(See: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9.pdf )

The point of the above as provided in the instructions for the From I-9 and not the Form I-9 itself is the Department of Homeland Security appears to intend have the applicant identify himself or herself as a nonresident alien individual(NRA) in accordance with 20 C.F.R. 422.103 through 20 C.F.R. 422.107 on the Form I-9.

4. NRA Status and the “Brand Name”

Because the uppercase “Social Security number” is the designation used for applications and non-resident status, using the card effectively characterizes your income as that of a Non-Resident Alien (NRA) using a government Brand Name and number. You are treated as a governmental unit receiving payments from a “payor” (another Governmental Unit) of statutory wages or self-employment income that never legally existed in that context.

Since the “lowercase” number for domestic residents was never expressly assigned on your issuance papers, you are operating under the mistaken presumption of a “license” to use the Agency’s property for work, which never legally existed or was verified.

5. The Reality of Involuntary Servitude

The regulations in 20 CFR Subpart E define the “individual” as a debtor based on the wages posted to these records.

• 20 C.F.R. §422.402(e): “You means an individual who owes a debt to the United States within the scope of this subpart.”
• 20 C.F.R. §422.401: This subpart describes procedures for the use of administrative wage garnishment under 31 U.S.C. §3720 to recover past-due debts.
• 31 U.S.C. §3720(a): Allows the head of an executive agency to garnish disposable pay to collect “nontax debt” owed to the United States.
• 31 U.S.C. §3701(a)(8): Defines “nontax” as any debt or claim other than a debt or claim under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

DISCUSSION:

If you use a “Social Security number” that belongs to an independent agency to exchange your labor for “remuneration,” you are not working as a free agent. You are being treated as a GOVERNMENT “employee” under Title 5 receiving “employee benefits” . You are using the Agency’s property to facilitate a transaction in which the Agency tracks and misclaims an interest as a nontax debt, which they falsely report belongs to the Social Security Administration in the executive branch of government.

6. Conclusion: A Number Never Assigned and Labor Mischaracterized

The evidence shows the SSA did not assign you a “social security number” as a resident for your own benefit. You can’t own that which isn’t your property anyway:

20 CFR § 422.103 – Social security numbers.

(d) Social security number cards. 

A person who is assigned a social security number will receive a social security number card from SSA within a reasonable time after the number has been assigned. (See § 422.104 regarding the assignment of social security number cards to aliens.) Social security number cards are the property of SSA and must be returned upon request.

If you incorrectly claim it’s YOURS, indirectly you can’t avoid admitting that you are a government “employee” on official business managing government property, which, after all, is exactly what a “public officer” is legally defined as. You are surety for a domestic civil capacity civil statutory status created and owned as property of the national government under the Public Rights Doctrine.

Instead, they provided an uppercase “Social Security number” that belongs to them. By using their property, your labor is funneled into a system of debt and reporting—a form of administrative servitude where the independent agency, as the owner of the “Brand,” makes a false claim to the payments you receive.

Regardless of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC §§ 3121, 3401), whatever interest you have in your own labor is being misclaimed by the SSA as a nontax debt. You are not the owner of the number; you are a user of a government tool that misdefines your status as a servant to a false agency ledger, placing you into involuntary servitude without the conviction of a crime.
