Federal legislation relating to the Hope Tax Credit (Federal Register, June 16, 2000) requires that all postsecondary institutions report student SSNs to the Internal Revenue Service. This IRS requirement makes it necessary for community colleges to collect the SSN of every student.

All SSNs are protected by federal regulations (FERPA) and are never released to unauthorized parties.
