I know we use Social Security numbers to ID people when opening an account. I was recently told by a customer when they called in to get information that we can not use their SS# as a way to identify them over the phone. She said it was a new law, saying we can not use SS# as a way to identify them. Is this a true statement? I know we have to have it on record but can we ask it to make sure we are talking to the right person?

The Uniting and Strengthening America Act recently signed by President Bush requires institutions to name one contact person on money laundering and also requires institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs. My question is, are regulators going to be looking for a specific money laundering policy or will its inclusion in our BSA policy be sufficient?
