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.

What happens if someone gets married a lot and keeps needing a new card with new name?

Now I’m wondering what the maximum number of times someone has been married. Elizabeth Taylor was married 8 times (twice to Burton, so she could have reused that one if she kept it) But if she took her husband’s last name legally (while keeping her stage name) each time, she would have been pushing the limit, and over it if she went back to her maiden name, lost any cards, or didn’t keep old ones… Or if her lawyers were like, don’t change your name legally again after husband 5?

I guess they’re technically not replacement cards but newly issued ones

  Yeah I think this is to counter someone selling theirs on purpose replacing it. Guess the number is just honestly an estimate of what could reasonably happen, but then it’s still 3 a year. But then again you couldn’t definitely have such bad luck to lose your wallet thrice a year.
  
  Anyways, I’d assume that if (well before the US went totally mad) there was an actually reasonable case of someone encountering the limit who clearly wasn’t a fraudster, it’d probably be amended.
  
  But that’s just my cursed optimism, probably doesn’t reflect reality.

We may allow for reasonable exceptions to these limits on a case-by-case basis in compelling circumstances. We also will consider name changes (i.e., verified legal changes to the first name and/or surname) and changes in alien status which result in a necessary change to a restrictive legend on the SSN card (see paragraph (e)(3) of this section) to be compelling circumstances, and will not include either of these changes when determining the yearly or lifetime limits.
