FILING AN AMENDMENT TO DEBTOR’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
This is a two-part process. Due to the privacy rules that took effect on 12/1/03 you will need to follow these instructions:
1. Amendment to Petition Pages
a. Create an amendment, in PDF format, which lists the last 4 digits of the SS# only.
b. Electronically file this using Bankruptcy/Miscellaneous/Amendment to Petition Pages
c. DO NOT combine this event with step #2.
d. DO NOT include form 21 with this event.
2. Form 21
a. Create Form 21, in PDF format, providing the entire SS# of the debtor(s)
b. Electronically file Form 21 (Statement of Social Security Number) using Bankruptcy/Miscellaneous/Form 21- This is a private entry and can only be viewed by court personnel (trustees and UST do not have access to this entry).
Service of amendment – Serve both documents upon all creditors and parties in interest (this includes the trustee and UST)
NOTE: Form 21 only needs to be filed IF the social security number originally filed with the court is incorrect.
