Is that still true?

Except for certain industries where the government has a direct interest (banking, healthcare, real estate), I don't think anyone has asked for my SSN in at least a decade. It's not like the old days when you'd fork over your SSN to rent videos at Blockbuster.

That's still a massive dependance on "ID" for SS...? Blockbuster tho.. phew it's been a while.
