I went to get a new S.S. card and was told I don't exist.
Does “Life” really do that number on your teeth? That’s nasty.
Where do I sign up for this, and I’m not kidding. I don’t think it’s funny, as a self-employed individual, if I could legitimately claim no SSN, I could avoide 15.3% of my overall tax burden! Why can’t something like this happen to me?
When you look in the mirror, do you see a reflection?
LOL!
First Man:
I think...
I think I am.
Therefore I am!
I think...
Establishment:
Of course you are, my bright little star...
I’ve miles and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our great computer
You’re magnetic ink!
First Man:
I’m more than that
I know I am...
At least, I think I must be
Inner Man:
There you go, man
Keep as cool as you can
Face piles of trials with smiles
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave...
And keep on thinking free
You should have a number already right? It should be on the tax returns, pay docs, ect... That info should be in the computer at the SS office. You also have maiden names and other relative's info. They should have had all that in detail, like your gradma's addresses, ect... right in front of them on the screen. Was the doc a birth certificate in Japanese? LOL! Just kidding.
BellStar is a play on Belle Starr the very skilled gun-women of the old west’s name. I am an NRA Life member and strong 2nd Amend. supporter. I saw that Belle could be spelled Bell as in Liberty Bell Starr could be Star as in the Lone Star State and thus my FR name was chosen way back in 1998!
Take them a copy of your home page, it looked convincing to me.
How is that a problem?
I was thinking the same thing. I think it is a gift from God in my opinion.
Ha-Ha!
“The part about Im a Red State Proud Republican Woman will really win friends and influence people down at the old S.S. office dont you think ansel12.”
I found the photo so pleasant that I forgot about that part.
By the way, I am a Texan that loves those waters (I’m not in Texas now).
Glad you liked the picture. I am on the water almost every day. Sailing is a passion.
Had an occasion to apply for unemployment a couple of decades ago. CA unemployment office said someone else (with a different name) was using my number. They even knew the illegal. Told me to go to the SS office across the street and let them know. I did. They said the guy using my number was just adding to my SS contributions, if there were any.
It appears SS, like IRS, would like to do everything online now. Go to their homepage here: Social Security Online. Especially, look at "Questions"

Cool! You’ve opted out without even trying. I’d walk away from that deal with a smile on my face!
Far out man.
Jose Garcia thanks you for your number. He has found it very useful in pursuing the American dream.
I clicked on your profile. Anyway, people born in your situation sometimes have problems proving they are US citizens. The “Birth Certificate” sometimes makes the typical low level bureaucrat scratch their heads.
This will likley require persistence and patience. When my Dad finally went to apply for his social security they decided he didn’t exist either - never mind the years of contributions. To make matters more difficult, the court house in the county where he was born had burned when he was a small child - no original records.
Low level clerk types at SS do not believe in solving problems - if it doesn’t fit in their narrow little categories, you have to move up the chain and you have to be persistent.
Which is part of the reason why so many illegal immigrants get SS cards unquestioned. They have the right documents so the clerks don’t question anything.
Bless you and God bless Texas .
