Business interview practices question - survey's need Social Security numbers now?

I went into a job interview to Menards, and the first bit of paperwork they asked for was a 'survey' that had 25 questions that basically asked if I was a thief, drug-user, or drug dealer. That's fine in itself, but they demanded I put my full social security number on the 'survey' because they needed the record.

Is this standard interview procedure now? And should SS numbers be attached to 'surveys'?

For the record I pointedly asked if they needed the SS number for it, and they said yes. When I refused the 'interview' was over. Walked out feeling like I was accused of being a thief and drug dealer and didn't do a good job defending myself. Why do they need my SS number attached to such a blatantly offensive questionnaire for? So if they believe I steal or deal drugs, they can go to court have documentation that I denied I was over a dozen times?!?!? What is the point of making employees think they are working for a company that is hypersensitive about them being thieves and druggies? That even a malicious rumor will get you fired?
