writer’s soul: yes, the dor yeshorim can be retrieved with a social security number. BUT they are soooo not happy about it that they told me that they couldn’t guarantee that it was in fact the correct number. That is their disclaimer. That is their legal right, to make a disclaimer. I am confident, though, that the DY number that we used while my son was dating was in fact the correct number. Because I gave them the correct SS# (I also had a cancelled check somewhere with the number, but that was actually harder to locate in my not such great record keeping system). No sakana. If we were concerned about sakana, then we would go to a lab and find out our own carrier status and proceed accordingly. But heck, then that would defeat the purpose of DY. The only reason that we do DY is because this is what the gedolim said we should do. As pointed out, if one has gotten this info from other sources, then one cannot participate in the DY program. Calm down, writer’s soul, no worries!
