4000 - Advisory Opinions

In response to your letter dated September 29, 1987, please be advised that insofar as deposit insurance coverage is concerned, coverage is not determined by tax identification numbers (social security numbers), but by deposit account ownership and compliance with the recordkeeping requirements of the regulatory provisions governing deposit insurance. There are no specific rules and regulations governing the use of the owner's social security number for deposit insurance purposes. There are, however, other regulations which deal specifically with the use of tax identification numbers (for example, 31 C.F.R. § 103.34).

I trust this is responsive to your inquiry.
