Social Security card

[Alpo]

You ever show yours to anyone?

 

Book I'm reading, they need some fake ID. They get a driver's license and a social security card.

 

The driver's license makes sense. You show your driver's license for ID all the time. But the social security card? I've had one since the 9th grade. I don't think I've ever showed it to anybody. I've written the number down a lot of places - employment applications, bank applications. But I've never shown it to anyone. Heck, my card says right on it NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES.

I9 for employment records require 1 thing from column 1 ie a passport or 1 each from columns 2 and 3 ie DL and SS card or birth cert. Easier to fake a SS card

No I haven’t and I don’t carry with ne neither.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Haven’t had one for at least 40 years.

Yes, once to renew my DL to the "real id" license.

I changed wallets a few years ago. Looked at the SS card, wondered why I carried it. It was my original from around 1973. Long before they were automatically issued to babies.  It had the same message on it.

 

I put it "somewhere safe." I got a  new one earlier this year.  It doesn't have that on it.

(Oh, lordy! Where did I put my new one?)

We did too when I enlisted in '77. They still do to this day.

My college used it as our ID which is why I have mine memorized.

So did mine. You would have a test, then go to the classroom later and on the door of the classroom would be a list. Everybody by social security number giving their grade. Not your name - your social security number.

University of New Hampshire, and I imagine others, allow a student to use a non- SSN nine digit number because of the potential for identity theft. I forgot what my fake no. is but I used it the recent times that I took courses. (NH resident seniors can take classes for a minimal fee. )

Mine was between 1973 and 1978, don’t believe they are allowed to do

that now.

1974. We had a foreign student. And for some reason this one day the conversation came around to social security numbers. And he said they had given him one. Back then I assumed he meant that the government had issued him a number when he came into the country. Which really makes no sense. More likely the college issued him a number because he needed a nine digit number for identification purposes.

 

But he told us that his social security number was 000-00-0001.

no - i dont , i show whats required at the doctors office but as far as anyone else goes - they can be happy with a drivers license if needed - after all this state issues those to everyone - even illegal's , and registers them to vote as they issue it

And it was never intended to be I.D. or "citizen number".   A fine example of mission creep!

About 10 years ago I did mail in voting. And a couple weeks after the election I get a letter from the supervisor of elections. Said they counted my vote, but that my signature on my mail-in vote did not look like my signature on their copy of my voter registration card, and they wanted me to come down and resign.

 

My signature now looks a whole lot different than it did when I was 18. But at least if I did a mail in vote today the signatures would match.
