Explanatory Comment - There has been an increase in the concern about the use of social security numbers in court paper records. Consequently, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has amended Rule 240(h) governing the form for the petition to proceed in forma pauperis by deleting the requirement for a petitioner to supply his or her social security number.
