I need another explaination
 

So I'm in the Social Security office the other day to get a new card since I lost mine. I'm looking at the list of things that are unacceptable to ID yourself and one is your Birth Certificate. I thought ok that makes sense no picture on the Birth Cert no ID...then I look at the list of acceptable and about fell out of my chair....DD214 (Military Dishcharge papers) no Photo there either, Student ID (talk about easy to fake), Church membership roll (WTF?!?) So I ask the guy at the counter when I get up ther what gives why no birth certificate? his reply "Becasue it doesn't estabilish identity" I said yeah well neither does a DD214. his reply "yes it does" I said Really I have one and it has exactly the same information on it as my birth certificate...his reply...grumble grumble grumble...ask the supervisor something and completley change the subject....WTH!?! Church Membership rolls but not an effin Birth Cert....what is the SSA smokin cuz I want some!

Put ink on your feet and stomp on his face. Tell him to compare that to your birth certificate...

you're just ticked because you don't have any church membership roll to show 'em...

How about this.

Illegal aliens won't be able to get SSNs if they have to produce BCs.

ROFL

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Thats my point...I think...Birth Certs are more reliable than say CHURCH MEBERSHIP ROLLS! :banghead:

ROFL ROFL nice idea :thumb:

George Bush is proposing to Congress this week that we give all illegal immigrants Soc numbers so we can keep track of what their taxes WOULD have been.

Let me guess. They'll accept a passport too, and to get a passport all you need to supply is a birth certificate.

I would agree. If you require a birth certificate, illegal aliens can't get SSNs.

Are you asking for actually asking for validation of a governmental procedure?

What happened to Keep it Simple? This country went to hell the moment we started letting a bunch of lawyers run it. Nobody knows the law anymore. How could you? It's an entire library....

Passport is acceptable:banghead:

I find this inconsistency weird. When I was getting new SS cards for my children what they wanted was a copy of their birth certificate.

and how long ago was this?

Got one last year. Feel your pain.

Original birth certificate was needed. Sent off to the state to get a "validated" birth certificate.
