Did they change that since?
Yes, use of SSN was made optional sometime in the early 80s (I switched immediately) and in 2003 a law was passed in VA where the SSN is not allowed to be used in the DL number anymore.

I believe the Social Security Protection Act of 2010 which limits the Government's use of and access to social security numbers; probably doesn't allow states to use the SSN in a DL number anymore. I don't know that for sure, but at least I pointed those interested in finding out more int he right direction so they can go read up on it.
