We will ask for a Social Security number when we provide a quote so that we can give the most accurate rate possible,..

Maybe it is just too early right now, maybe i have not had enough coffee, maybe I am just a dim bulb....but I cannot for the life of me figure out what in the hell a SSN has to do with getting a accurate rate quote. If it has something to do with determining age, I am sure they ask you for your age up front. Anyone care to enlighten me?

It's being timed perfectly for Hillary next year. And it's why she's been so conveniently silent on the issue. It also won't hurt Spitzer's own re-election in 2010. I agree he's a lowlife who deserves the Gray Davis treatment.

That is a sure-fire way to keep New York in the Democrat column since felons tend to vote straight Democrat tickets.

“But the new policy, set to take effect in December, also includes components that could dissuade undocumented immigrants from rushing to the program. For instance, federal immigration officials could subpoena the state’s license records to track down illegal aliens, state officials concede.”

The important thing, is for ICE to make it clear that that’s exactly what it will do. The whole thing will become academic.

First State Trooper gate; now illegals-to-have-driver’s licenses gate.

Spitzer is acting like a dictator.

Yup. But he's stepped in it this time and isn't going to get away with it.

>>This is another Dem scheme to give these illegals a photo that will get them through the voting booths.<<

Plus, seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned by population counted by the census, which counts illegals as residents. So states that increase their illegal population will gain seats, and states that don't (especially ones that enforce immigration law) will lose seats.

The states in the old South could count slaves as 3/5 of a "resident" for representation, but Spitzer and Hillary get 100% of a "resident" for each illegal counted in the census.

I think the insurance company uses the SS # to run a credit check on prospective customers. The better your credit rating, the lower your rate will be.

That seems odd, and not needed. You pay your premium, you’re covered. You don’t pay it, they cancel. They can charge you based on driving record, but not on income from what i can see. Summing it up, no wonder we have identify theft. Some low paid loser losing for insurance company customer service desk has all the SSN’s they could ever wish for.

I found this excerpt from a government website for the state of Washington:

Questions and Answers on Credit Scoring and How Insurers Use Credit Information

The following information will help you understand how insurance companies use your credit information and how this business practice affects the cost of your insurance.

Can an insurance company look at my credit information without my permission? -- Yes. Both the federal and state Fair Credit Reporting Acts (FCRA), say that insurance companies may look at credit information without your permission for underwriting practices. The federal law can be found at www.ftc.gov.

Why do insurance companies use credit information? -- Some insurance companies believe there is a correlation between financial responsibility and insurance losses. They believe that credit information is a good measure of financial responsibility. They believe that consumers who show less financial responsibility will file more claims, so they should pay more for their insurance.

How do I know if an insurance company is looking at my credit? -- Ask your insurance agent or company if they use credit information for underwriting and rating. If credit history is used for underwriting, ask how it affects your eligibility for coverage. If credit history is used for rating, ask how it affects your insurance premium. Finally, you should ask if they will check the credit history of other people insured on your policy, such as family members, and how they will affect your policy.

Sigh......I guess it is just another example of govt. ignoring the fact that SSN numbers are not to be used for identification.

The people are plenty mad, and rightfully so.

So what’s Hillary Clinton’s take on this?

I wish the NYS voter’s would take a better look at her, too.

We're still waiting but since she no doubt knows who those convicted illegal alien felons will be voting for we probably won't be hearing much.
