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.

  Where are you keeping your social security card that it keeps getting stolen? Is it in your wallet or in your house somewhere and your getting broken into a whole bunch?

      Wait, I can put physical objects there? I’ve been storing all of my stuff in the real world like a dummy.

        ah, op means getting the actual card stolen? thats impressive. ssn gets leaked mostly through cyber events.

  i’ve never had my SS card stolen because it stays at home inside of the random shit drawer

  i’ve also never had my SSN stolen. maybe i’m just lucky but I don’t recall a time I ever inputted my SSN online besides the last 4 digits for some ID verification

  GRANTED I agree that the 10 cards rule is silly. I think it was written for a different time. and realistically, you could lose your SSN card every 6 years from 18 years old ↦ 78 years old and you’ll only be denied at 78.

  by then hopefully we’ve modernized the system a bit. maybe that’s too optimistic

  More likely forget where it is. How often do you need to use it? Likely it gets stashed in some place and forgotten.
