subject Social Security problem

Hello,

I'm not sure that the EFF is the right place to go with this problem,
but maybe I can offer some advice.

At my last and previous employer (both "startups", who use third party
benefit administrators to handle health benefits), my Social Security
number was given to my benefit carriers, even though I explicitly said
from the start that I did not authorize that.

I created a blog to chronicle the ongoing saga of trying to get my
benefit carriers to remove my SSN from their records.

It has become truly agonizing, but I don't know that I want to (or
really even can) spend the money to hire an attorney at this point.

Thanks,
Clay Shentrup
