Can My Social Security Number Be Suspended? No, the Social Security office doesn’t suspend numbers. Calls that tell you your SSN number may be blocked or suspended for any reason are a scam. This is a common phone scam that involves a person asking you for personal information, including your SSN, so they can work with you to resolve the issue. Only the Social Security Administration can release your social security number to you and you only. If you have lost your card, go to your local office and request a duplicate. Anyone offering to "find" your social security number online is running a scam. 13.8k views · View 6 Upvoters · Answer requested by If you know your Social Security number has been compromised, you should do a credit freeze, Levin said.
