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!
