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 đź’€
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.
Why. The hell. Are we supposed to keep sacred a piece of paper that only has 9 precious numbers we can't choose, but that will permanently identify us, that will deteriorate over time, we're not supposed to laminate or protect it, and we only have limited replacements!? So dumb...
Social security numbers need to be phased out. Such a ridiculous and outdated system.
I’m ordering three every year until I have all 11, then I’m gonna keel over in anxiety.
so if you want to ruin someones life, just steal their social security card 10 times?
might need to respawn
Haha, dammit I snorted. Fine, enjoy the upvote
How many times until they catch the cocksuckers that keep stealing them then?
At 44, I'm pretty sure it's been stolen ten times.
Or better yet, unfuck the system that requires us to have the damned things?
I don’t get it. Is a social secuirty thingy the same as what National ID’s are for in other countries?
Yeah, but who cares? I mean, really? I haven't had a physical copy of my social security card in ages, since it disintegrated in my wallet in college. Memorize the number and move on with your day.
Well shit, I’m on # 2
I had to replace mine once. Put it in a safer spot and haven’t had to move it since. I can’t imagine what someone is doing where they’d need to replace a social security card 10 times.
After that they come round and tattoo it onto your forehead.
What happens if someone gets married a lot and keeps needing a new card with new name?
Now I'm wondering what the maximum number of times someone has been married. Elizabeth Taylor was married 8 times (twice to Burton, so she could have reused that one if she kept it) But if she took her husband's last name legally (while keeping her stage name) each time, she would have been pushing the limit, and over it if she went back to her maiden name, lost any cards, or didn't keep old ones... Or if her lawyers were like, don't change your name legally again after husband 5?
hopefully all record of replacements will seem gay for some reason and get scrubbed.
Shiiiiiet I’m like 2-3 away probably lol
I learned this for my parents because they had to keep getting me new ones. They got my name incorrect 9 times, the social security office. So my parents kept going back and then they warned them I'm close to the limit. My mom and dad we're pissed because my parents didn't lose it the office kept making a mistake but it doesn't matter. Now my mom keeps it so it doesn't get lost.
The number's 10 now? It was 3
Is it not the same thing as Canadian SIN?
I don't understand how can you lose it? It's just a number. If you forget it, you can login into CRA (Canadian IRS) website and see it there and you can print it if you want for some reason.
