Obviously you forgot your statement that a child can't leave the hospital without an SSN.

See post 35.

Also her father was deceased from just before she was born, and I think she also had to have it for her mother to receive social security payments on her behalf. I'll ask my daughter if she remembers exactly how many different places required it.

For a short while back in the 70's I was on welfare, and I think I had to get each of my kids social security numbers in order to be able to receive it. All their numbers are sequential.

In short, unless you live on cash under the radar, you have to have a social security number in order to function in our society.
