They have the same name. They were born on the same day in South Korea. And they were both assigned the same Social Security number after they emigrated to the United States.
This bureaucratic bungle has bedeviled Jieun Kim, of Los Angeles, and Jieun Kim, who lives just outside Chicago in Evanston, Illinois, for almost as long as they’ve been in this country.
“I’m left with fear about what is in store for me as I have to deal with this terrible aftermath of the Social Security Administration’s mistake in giving one Social Security number to two people,” she said.“This kind of mix-up can happen with Asian people because they have very similar names,” she says she was told by its workers.

She said she had a work permit and a job as a graphic designer.
“I immediately reported that somebody stole my Social Security number to the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the police,” she said. “But I was so busy with my studies that I was not able to follow through and I just left it there.” Chicagoland Kim said she gathered up all her documentation and returned to Chase Bank where she filed a formal report.
