- It shouldn't. All of it should be able to be accesed through your name and birthday etc. Shouldn't be any problem.
- why and how did you change your social security number did you go through social security? I heard the only times you can change your number if you are victim of Identity theft
- You can't change your social security number, unless it was used in the case of identity theft. This is from the SSA website. Should you get a new Social Security number? If you have done all you can to fix the problems resulting from misuse of your Social Security number and someone still is using your number, we may assign you a new number. You cannot get a new Social Security number: * To avoid the consequences of filing for bankruptcy; * If you intend to avoid the law or your legal responsibility; or * If your Social Security card is lost or stolen, but there is no evidence that someone is using your number. If you decide to apply for a new number, you will need to prove your age, U.S. citizenship or lawful immigration status and identity. For more information, ask for Your Social Security Number And Card (Publication Number 05-10002). You also will need to provide evidence that you still are being disadvantaged by the misuse. Keep in mind that a new number probably will not solve all your problems. This is because other governmental agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service and state motor vehicle agencies) and private businesses (such as banks and credit reporting companies) likely will have records under your old number. Also, because credit reporting companies use the number, along with other personal information, to identify your credit record, using a new number will not guarantee you a fresh start. This is especially true if your other personal information, such as your name and address, remains the same. If you receive a new Social Security number, you will not be able use the old number anymore. For some victims of identity theft, a new number actually creates new problems. If the old credit information is not associated with the new number, the absence of any credit history under the new number may make it more difficult for you to get credit.
