The mandatory requirement that the social security number be included in forms filed with the Claims Division or Special Fund Division of the Industrial Commission of Arizona is permitted by Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, because the Commission's forms, prescribed under the Commission's Rules in existence prior to January 1, 1975, required disclosure of the social security number. The number is used as a means of identifying all the various records in the Claims Division or Special Fund pertaining to an individual. The use of social security numbers is made necessary because of the large number of persons who have similar names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the social security number.
