Yes we have. Any document identification ID will work in the place of an SSN or EIN. The requirement of this number is for companies wishing to push data files to affiliates in the future. From the identifying ID number (whether an SSN, EIN, or other number) a hash is used to create a unique Model ID number. The end result is reducing the amount of duplicate models in the database should one model be used by more than one program that is pushing out data updates to affiliates. This is a ONE WAY hash, and the model's information is stored ONLY in local memory until the hash is created, so there is no concern the model's sensitive data will get out.
