‘Aren’t SS numbers required to apply for all welfare?”
****
Nope. Worked at a local health dept one summer as a student nurse. All they are required to show is “proof of residence. ...or a utility bill.” All they need to do is to show “proof of pregnancy” and they are literally escorted to the Medicare window to sign up for all the goodies they need to pop out that next anchor child.
Just being a resident ... that’s all they need to show in Fairfax, Arlington counties in Virginia.
That wasn’t my question, but thanks for informing others.
