Now, therefore ... it is hereby ordered as follows: Hereafter any Federal department, establishment, or agency shall, whenever the head thereof finds it advisable to establish a new system of permanent account numbers pertaining to individual persons, utilize exclusively the Social Security account numbers ... However, as a Social Security Administration staff paper indicated, it was not until the 1960’s that federal agencies began to adopt the SSN as a general government identifier in other contexts.<Rf> Social Security Administration, Use of the SSN — Background and Legislative History 2-3 (1980).

"The impetus for the Executive Order came from consideration the Civil Service

Commission was giving to establishing a numerical identification system for all Federal employees, using the SSN as the identifying number. However, in spite of the Executive Order, there was little program use of SSN’s within the Federal Government in the 1940’s and 1950’s, because there was no real incentive for those agencies which kept individual records (e.g., Civil Service Commission, the Armed Forces, IRS, etc.) to change their record keeping systems. The potential for expanded use of the SSN was increasingly recognized during this period, though. After its adoption in 1961 by the Civil Service Commission for Federal employees, the next major use of the SSN for other than social security purposes occurred in 1962, when the IRS adopted the SSN as its official taxpayer identification number. While the use of the SSN by IRS has no relationship to the social security ty system as such, this step was nevertheless considered entirely appropriate."
