Login.gov collects and verifies personal information during the IAL2 proofing process. It is configured to consider almost all personal information valid in the sandbox. There is one social security number that can be entered to simulate a failure to validate personal information: “666-66-6666”.
Login.gov collects and verifies personal information during the IAL2 proofing process. Login.gov only accepts social security numbers starting with “900” as being valid in the sandbox environment to prevent users from accidentally entering real personal information. This prefixed is used because it is not valid according to the [Social Security Administration](https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110201035).

To simulate a failure, enter a social security number that does not start with “900”, such as “123-45-6789”.

This is what I was getting at with the question about 6666 - this makes a lot of sense! Can simulate both success and failure 👍🏻

Will be splitting this PR up to accommodate a deprecation notice. This PR has been changed to include the original language and added a warning that the change will go into effect on 11/22.

I will create a follow-up PR to be merged after we deploy the change in sandbox IDP validation.
