I think you are thinking of form I-9, which is federally required. SS Card is one of may accepted forms of ID, I always use my passport instead.

- franga2000 5y ago> SS Card is one of may accepted forms of ID Are those still as I remember them - with no biometric information (like a photo) and basically no security features?
- qbasic_forever 5y agoYeah I had to get a replacement a couple months ago and it's the exact same flimsy little cardstock card as we've always had.
- rubidium 5y agoIt’s not intended to be a secure ID. It’s meant to be the number by which you claim your social security benefits. It’s just warped into this ungodly mess because people use it as a “secure” number.
- smachiz 5y agoThat form also requires your SSN (or equivalent ITIN for non-citizens). Using your passport doesn't obviate the requirement that they have your SSN or ITIN for the IRS. The SSN card proves your eligibility to work, they still need to verify your ID separately (DL, voter card, etc.). They need both pieces. A passport counts as both.
- bitcoinmoney 5y agoThey need your SSN. Not specifically your SSN card. Source: lost my SSN card ages ago.
- smachiz 5y agoCorrect, if you have a passport or other eligible documents that attest your right to work. Your SSN card counts as one of the eligible forms of attesting your right to work but not your ID. Which is I think what I said. They still need your SSN, just not the card itself.
