Requesting your W2s from the IRS requires you to have the card, or 1 of 10 other documents that usually have xxx-xx as the first 5 of the number.
As an aside, the first 5 can be determined if you know what state and year someone was born in.
Okay, I hear what you’re saying… when was the last time you had to present a physical copy of your SS card and NOTHING else could be used as a substitute?

Any time you get hired at a new job they need to make a copy of your SS card.

This is categorically false. You must not work in HR. My wife does! woooo
What needs to be done is an I-9 form needs to be completed. You need either an item from list A (e.g. something like a passport) or two other items. A birth certificate is a fine replacement for a social security card, if you go with an item from list B + C. www.uscis.gov/…/form-i-9-acceptable-documents

Rarely but it’s relevant because ICE thugs are abducting people off the street. I get the fear.
