How can I check to see if someone is using my Social Security number?

If you think your Social Security information has been stolen, it’s important to act quickly. The best way to check if someone may be using your SSN is to check your credit report. You can do this online through AnnualCreditReport.com or by contacting each of the three reporting agencies.

When you have your credit report, review it for anything out of the ordinary. If you spot something suspicious, someone may be fraudulently using your information.
