Why YSK: If you are a US Resident, don’t lose your Social Security card more than 10 times, or else you might need to respawn 💀
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
In accordance with §7213 of the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 2004 and 20 CFR 422.103, the number of replacement Social Security cards per person is generally limited to three per calendar year and ten in a lifetime.
Ruh roh… I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had it replaced. 😨

But I have good news for you, I heard that they are dismantling the IRS 😂👌
How do you lose something that you’re supposed to leave in a secured place at home?
Had a young friend lose his SS card and license on a camping trip when the canoe dumped. I was laughing about it with his best friend.
“How the hell you bring your social security card camping?!”
“Well, I did too. We’re applying for lots of jobs.”
And you don’t have that shit memorized?!
Oh well, lesson learned I guess.
Do you need to have it to apply for a job? I’ve only ever needed it when actually starting a job but I’m Canadian.
No, we Americans only need to present it during the onboarding process. No one needs your SSN to apply. Caveat: Probably need it for security clearance jobs, but in those cases I assume you have a doc outlining your clearance level. LOL, been downvoted around here giving facts about hiring, so maybe I should shut up.
Because it’s so secure, even I forgot where it was kept.

I got a head start… I wasn’t even issued one until multiple decades into my life!
