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.

    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?

      Where are you keeping your social security card that it keeps getting stolen? Is it in your wallet or in your house somewhere and your getting broken into a whole bunch?

      i’ve never had my SS card stolen because it stays at home inside of the random shit drawer

      i’ve also never had my SSN stolen. maybe i’m just lucky but I don’t recall a time I ever inputted my SSN online besides the last 4 digits for some ID verification

      GRANTED I agree that the 10 cards rule is silly. I think it was written for a different time. and realistically, you could lose your SSN card every 6 years from 18 years old ↦ 78 years old and you’ll only be denied at 78.

      by then hopefully we’ve modernized the system a bit. maybe that’s too optimistic
