No government agency may require your Social Security number except for
the Social Security Administration, the IRS, and any agency which was
already requiring it before the passage of the 1975 Privacy Act.  This
grandfather clause covers the Selective Service people.

I looked into this before registering for the draft.  I may have gotten
incorrect information, so check a law library or lawyer if this is
important to you.
