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.
I never thought about it until retirement, but the only times I’ve ever been asked to show my Social Security card have been to get jobs. Since retirement I’ve had to show my Medicare card but never my SS even though I receive SS payments.
