Meet The Need is designed to ensure the confidentiality of personal information of families you are serving. Under no circumstances are Social Security Numbers (if you enter them) visible nor shared with anyone in the Meet The Need system. Once entered, the SSN is encrypted and will not be seen by any key contacts or users (not even by the organization that entered the family). If a family provides their SSN to a key contact, then it is searchable (if entered in full), but even in that instance the SSN does not appear on the screen.
