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.

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.

Yeah the pedantry on your behalf is a bit much, but you do you.
A social security card is quite literally a specific form of ID. Therefore your wild claim that employers are allowed to require it is wrong. They can only require that you provide them an acceptable document from a predefined list. Providing your social security card is merely one of the documents from the list you can choose to provide. No employer is allowed to require it.
