This is how you can mask your SSN Number using JS

.replace(/\D/g, '').replace(/^(\d{3})(\d{1,2})/, '$1-$2').replace(/^(\d{3})-(\d{2})(.+)/, '$1-$2-$3').substring(0, 11)

If you're masking it with jQuery you've already got a security hole. You need to mask it server-side otherwise it's being sent unmasked across the network. That's a huge privacy and identity theft problem.
