Regardless of whether or not they are breached, the social security numbering system needs to be changed because it is far from a secure number.

Changing the system do not make it more secure by default. Here the SSN equivalent is calculated with your name, surname, date and place of birth and a check code, and it is not a secret how to calculate it (it was the very first program you write if you study IT at school for example).
The problem is not SSN number itself, but the fact that you need only it to do everything.
