In the beginning the Social Security Number was issued by the government and is unique to each living citizen. This much still holds true.
In the beginning, the SSN was used to locate the file drawer containing your file, which was then located by name in that drawer. There was no requirement for uniqueness, and it was not intended to be personal identifier at all.
