1. As if they don't already have all that information from financial records

You can't open, close, transfer, roll over anything without reams of personal data. You can't deal in cash. You cannot open a financial account with money orders, you can't clear a check on a money market fund, I'm not even sure you can pay a credit card bill with cash or money orders. SS numbers have been required on all financial accounts since about 1975, though some were probably grandfathered in until about 1990.

So what are they trolling for? Immigrants without SS numbers? This is a financial trolling for data on the part of big government. I doubt .02% of the data they receive will be unknown to them. Nothing novel, nothing new. Power grab choke point reinforcement.
