You don't need your own SSN you just need "A" SSN.
The IRS don't care if 20 people in 20 different locations are using the same SSN. They do link that little sheet they send to you once a year by Name and address so you only see what you have paid into your account.
If you ask how many people are using your number the IRS will not tell you - because of "Privacy".
Remember a few years back - the lady up in WA (IIRC). She was getting harassed by a collection agency. Somebody in another state was using her SSN and had skipped out on a loan. She tried to get the SS Administration to cough up the details and they refused because of privacy of the other individual.
