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.
