Fedscoop: Federal officials told the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday that lack of funding, outdated technology and the absence of coordinated approach from the Office of Management and Budget have stalled their ability to move away from Social Security numbers as identification markers inside federal agencies.
This meeting comes as agencies are still trying to wrestle with an OMB memo from 2007 requiring federal agencies to reduce or replace Social Security numbers use as identifiers across federal government. The memo required agencies to identify opportunities to reduce the use of SSNs and establish a plan to discontinue unnecessary use within 18 months.
