Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life.

It sounds like some employers/HR outfits are just grossly misinformed then. The I9 form directions are pretty clear in what is required and/or acceptable, and this documentation is only required for I9 purposes, other than a DL for a driving related job. Companies are not necessarily required to have copies of the I9 identity documents used on file, but it is good practice in case of an audit, which is why most companies do it (a CYA basically). In theory, if someone reports a company because they suspect they’re employing people unauthorized to work in the US, providing copies of the documents you used for the I9 verification shows that your did your due diligence and they’re more likely to leave you alone.

Yes, any employer/HR outfits that tell you that they require your social security card are grossly misinformed, as that would not be legal.

  I’m going to trust the person that does this for a living over your wild claims that asking for a SS card (something literally every job that I’ve had -and I’ve had a lot- required) is illegal.

    My “wild claim” is the law, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security. And I’m going to trust the very agency requiring this documentation in the first place over some random HR person on Lemmy who does their job poorly.
    
    4. Can I ask an employee to show a specific document when completing Form I-9?
    
    No. The employee may choose which document(s) they present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. You must accept any document (from List A) or combination of documents (one from List B and one from List C) listed on Form I-9 and found in Section 13.0 that reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting them. To do otherwise could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice that violates the anti-discrimination provision in the INA.

    Are you fucking kidding me? This is some pedantic shit. No, they can’t ask for a specific form of ID. I’m familiar with the list of documents and the ones that the vast majority of people starting a job are going to have is their driver’s license and SS card.
    
    I’m sorry you feel the need to make such a big deal over nothing to the point of making multiple obtuse comments, maybe next time you can just keep your mouth shut.
