Lesson Overview

45.5 – Safeguarding Social Security and Medical Cards: Safeguarding your Social Security and medical cards protects your privacy, finances, and personal identity. These cards contain sensitive information that can be misused if lost or stolen. Store them in a secure, private location rather than carrying them daily. Only share these numbers when absolutely necessary and with verified institutions. Keep copies locked away or encrypted for backup. Never post or email photos of these cards online. Monitoring for unusual activity—such as unfamiliar bills or letters—helps detect identity misuse early. Understanding their value teaches you the importance of discretion. Protecting this information shows respect for both your safety and future stability. Responsible handling of personal identifiers ensures control over your records and reduces risks of fraud or medical confusion.
