Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

Does the police have the right to ask for your social security nr?

While driving in Florida, the police had pulled a car over, as I pass by in the lane adjacent to him. He pulled me over stating that I should have move to the other lane of traffic and then proceeded to ask me for my SS id number.

Can I be pulled over for not changing lanes and asked for my Social Security nr?
