Had a young friend lose his SS card and license on a camping trip when the canoe dumped. I was laughing about it with his best friend.
“How the hell you bring your social security card camping?!”
“Well, I did too. We’re applying for lots of jobs.”
And you don’t have that shit memorized?!
Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

Do you need to have it to apply for a job? I’ve only ever needed it when actually starting a job but I’m Canadian.

No, we Americans only need to present it during the onboarding process. No one needs your SSN to apply. Caveat: Probably need it for security clearance jobs, but in those cases I assume you have a doc outlining your clearance level. LOL, been downvoted around here giving facts about hiring, so maybe I should shut up.
