Why YSK: If you are a US Resident, don’t lose your Social Security card more than 10 times, or else you might need to respawn 💀

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

In accordance with §7213 of the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 2004 and 20 CFR 422.103, the number of replacement Social Security cards per person is generally limited to three per calendar year and ten in a lifetime.

    My “wild claim” is the law, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency of the Department of Homeland Security. And I’m going to trust the very agency requiring this documentation in the first place over some random HR person on Lemmy who does their job poorly.

    4.  Can I ask an employee to show a specific document when completing Form I-9?

    No. The employee may choose which document(s) they present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. You must accept any document (from List A) or combination of documents (one from List B and one from List C) listed on Form I-9 and found in Section 13.0 that reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting them. To do otherwise could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice that violates the anti-discrimination provision in the INA.

    I’m sorry you’ve dealt with illegal employment practices at what is evidently every job you’ve ever held. I’ve not had that experience as every job I’ve worked has properly followed the law and collected required documentation appropriately. Maybe next time you switch jobs if they try to demand your social security card you can share with them The official Employers Handbook for I-9 document collection that is freely available on the USCIS website.

      Are you fucking kidding me? This is some pedantic shit. No, they can’t ask for a specific form of ID. I’m familiar with the list of documents and the ones that the vast majority of people starting a job are going to have is their driver’s license and SS card.

      I’m sorry you feel the need to make such a big deal over nothing to the point of making multiple obtuse comments, maybe next time you can just keep your mouth shut.

        Yeah the pedantry on your behalf is a bit much, but the bending backwards you’re doing to make the claim that “Employers can require your social security card” seem true requires it so I see why you’re doing it.

        No, they can’t ask for a specific form of ID

        A social security card is quite literally a specific form of ID. Therefore your wild claim that employers are allowed to require it is wrong. They can only require that you provide them an acceptable document from a predefined list. Providing your social security card is merely one of the documents from the list you can choose to provide. No employer is allowed to require it. End of discussion.

        My comments have been extremely straightforward and clear up to this point so I don’t know what you’re whining about.
