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.
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.
I had to get mine replaced to get a passport. That was ten years ago, and the passport just expired. I’ve got 9 replacements left and I just turned 60, so I think I’m good.
