Bankruptcy Basics: STATEMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Debtors must submit a statement of Social Security number(s) (Official Form 121) on which they must supply their full Social Security number, or indicate that they do not have a Social Security number. Bankruptcy Rule 1007(f). If a joint case is filed, both debtors must fill out the form. The statement is submitted with the petition and schedules but is not made part of the official court file. The form ensures that the debtor’s full Social Security number is not available to the general public or over the internet.
