I don't - no need to. My military ID card has my SS #, which is all the verification I need. Plus, the SS card is a flimsy piece of thin paper, and knowing me, I'd probably wash it and have it fall apart.

if you don't have a SS you are an illegal alien

Not neccesarily. I suppose you think every little kid is an illegal alien until he gets a social security number?

He's just saying that he doesn't have a card. Hell, my father took my card when my parents were divorced, so I didn't haver one from the time I was 4 years old until I 16 (when I needed it for my first job).

I don't carry it. No need to make it any easier for my identity to get stolen if i ever have my wallet jacked.

Before a few years ago, I didn't. Unfortunately, my identity was stolen a few years ago; now if I get pulled over, the cops are supposed to ask for my DL and SS card. It's a tad inconvenient but hopefully it helps (helped?) catch the person that got my license in the first place.

Not neccesarily. I suppose you think every little kid is an illegal alien until he gets a social security number?

I was almost certain that you'll get a SS number assign to you as soon as you are born


Was I wrong?

I started carrying it there before I had it memorized. I just never took it out. I now have it and my wife's ssn memorized. ;)

Yes, you were. I know one guy who never got one until he was 16. I know one guy who was born at home and didn't even have a birth certificate (or SSN) until he was several years old. Your parents have to sign you up for a SSN, you're not automatically assigned one.

kids get issued social security numbers at birth (or very quickly thereafter). So if its a small kid without a SSN then he is an alien.

I only carry it if I'm going in for a new job. That's the only time I ever have it in my wallet.

Answers like this is why you should never rely on boards such as this for information.
