Social Security card?

[Armed Eastsider]

When applying for the LTCH and getting fingerprinted do you have to present your Social Security card?

Mine was stolen

 

[The Keymaster]

I did not have to. I did have to present my drivers license though.

 

[WhitleyStu]

NO...

 

[Armed Eastsider]

Thanks for the answers. If I get up early before work and drive across town to get fingerprinted and they ask for my social security card I will be pissed!

Not at you guys but the bastard who stole my wallet. (Please no lectures on keeping your social security card in your wallet, I already know!)

Nope. In case you didn't know, your social security card isn't a form of identification.

I work in the financial industry & would highly recommend contacting all 3 credit bureaus & at the very minimum putting a fraud alert on them with directions for them to contact you (give some contact #'s) prior to granting any credit. Or you could just put a total freeze on your bureau, where nothing shows up, unless you give them a PIN # that unlocks it......

Technically true, but you must present it to a new employer before they can put you on payroll...why? To verify your identification and establish your lawful employment status.

I second that motion.

If only that worked.

I lost my Social Security card about twenty years ago. I haven't been asked for it since, and I have changed jobs several times. Most of the employers were good about asking for the required proof of eligibility to work (the "one from this column" and "one from that column" form), but not once has anyone even said "Social Security" and "card" to me in the same sentence.

I agree with PTGB above; haven't used my SS card in over 35 years. While I think I know where it is, no one has ever asked for it, as long as I knew the number (but, since it was also my service number, I'll never forget it). -- Greg

Actually, they can't legally ask you for any particular document. Just one from list A or one from list B and one from list C.

One of the little things most people don't know about hiring illegals is that according to the law you must accept any form of documentation from INS (or whatever it is now) that "looks official." This vague term is there because there are many, many types of cards issued by that agency that are legit. There are fines for discriminating against people who present official documentation.

I often read where people say, "C,mon, you KNOW they're illegal." May be true, but if they present official looking documentation, you have no recourse. Immigration is NO help whatsoever in such a situation.

I learned about this when I got caught up in a situation with a client company. They refused to accept the guy's documentation, which we believed "looked official" enough. Immigration made us come down and stand in line all day, but they would only verify verbally, not in writing, and refused to call my client. We were caught between a rock and a hard place, facing fines either way.
