This is a very interesting idea.Had I not been knee-deep in the final preparations for a family reunion held on May 17th when this was posted a few days prior, I might have been tempted to complete the application at the URL in the message.
However, giving out one's social security number, regardless of the stated purpose, is not a good idea, most especially on the internet, even if the poster claims security.In my opinion, there are other means of establishing a respondent's validity than obtaining the social security number.Far too many identities have been stolen using one's social security number.
If things sound too good to be true, they usually aren't.
