I’ve personally had to reacquire my social and I still don’t know where my original birth certificate is.
it’s a headache just like ALL dealings with the social security office, but it’s not something that an adult who isn’t severely mentally handicapped can’t handle.
The only semi-valid excuse I hear is taking time out of work and the fact of the matter is you can always explain to your employer that in a months time you have an appointment with social security and if you cannot afford ONE day off?
Apply for some government assistance so that one days earning of minimum wage doesn’t get you thrown into the street.
I was raised by a stressed out single mother and my dad is to this day a drug addict who never helped us out. Im Latino and I’m not a lawyer and I’m not particularly successful, and I know what stressing over finances is like.
The fact of the matter is that people in such horrible situations that they don’t even have a freaking ID, they just don’t vote, so it’s mainly a distraction anyways.
Well, unless some can provide me some evidence to the contrary.
