1"Enumeration at Entry" is a term used by the SSA that refers to the process of automatically assigning Social Security Numbers to newly admitted immigrants based on electronic verification of their work eligibility status by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The process precludes the need for the Social Security Administration  to visually inspect and verify INS documents prior to issuing an SSN. (Note to hiring authorities:  Remember that twelve and perhaps more of the nineteen 9-11-01 terrorists  had Social Security cards.  This helps to prevent and/or expose fake cards used by illegal or undocumented aliens.)

The Nineteen 9-11-01 Terrorists' possible use of Social Security cards was reported by James G. Huse, Jr, Inspector General for the Social Security Administration to the House Judiciary Committee on June 26, 2002 and is partially quoted as follow:  "We associated SSNs with 12 of the 19 names.  Of the SSNs associated with these 12 names, 5 appeared to be counterfeit (SSNs that were never issued by SSA).  In addition, 1 was associated with a child, leaving 6 names associated with SSNs that were issued by SSA.  Further, 4 of these 6 names were associated with multiple SSNs.  At this juncture, we cannot assert whether any of the 6 subject names associated with these SSNs are, in fact, September 11^th terrorists."
