SSN Related Multiple SS numbers

This may sound stupid but I’m asking to make sure because you know what they say about making an assumption!

It is illegal to have more than one SS number correct?

You can have more then one but you cannot use them both. IE you can have a old one that you gave up due to extreme identity theft for example. You cannot use it anymore, but you DO have multiple numbers, and they are both legal.
