There should be a clear indication as to why a company or website is asking for the SSN. Unless your applying for a government or federal job don't just provide any pertinent information as your SSN provides information about you. Government websites always has a .gov in its URL.
Some hiring companies do ask for SSN or TIN for infromation or background purposes.
