I hate carrying a purse and this is not the first time I have lost one. This is the first time I had $200.00 in it though. I have back-tracked all my steps. The cops don't have it. No one has it. Maybe it was the victim of an alien space probe.

If it was the end of the month, it would be quite so bad, but its disaster now. I thank God, I'd already paid my rent and utilities. That's something. I think I'll go curl into a little ball now.

Ok Sam. But if you run into a brick wall on this and find you're going without meds or your cat is having to live on what it can hunt, then let us know:P

it all sucks, esp. the cash, but it's the SS card that's worrying me the most--you're not supposed to carry it in your purse!

I didn't see that she said that was in there? oh now I see it. yup, that was daft. I guess if you're interviewing for jobs you need it more often than not, though.....

Can you get a replacement? And also let them know it's gone in case someone tries to use it for nefarious, identity-stealing purposes?

You have to when applying for a job.
many employers insist on seeing the original and they're not going to come to your house.

Yes, you can get ten free replacements over your lifetime, i think. I've used one so far....

I've never shown my SS card when applying for or getting a job.

I must be on record.

It's possible they've tightened up the rules in the last few years. I know they have over here. These days, you are supposed to take stuff like a birth certificate and what have you, to prove that you are a resident/citizen or have the right to work in the UK. That's only really been the case in the last 5 years, and it's only become common practice to comply in the last two or three.

I think instead of all paperwork, unless applying for government aid, the stiff regulations on acquiring a drivers license or ID card substitutes for all of that.

I could be wrong but I hope we are just as diligent. If not I'm moving in Dana. I could go live in that country area I saw a picture of you in. It's very beautiful.

( sorry I'm drifting )

The social security card establishes the right to work, and some other document is needed to establish identity. I-9

Interesting note:

Under the homeland security Real ID law both will soon be one and the same.

A person cannot now get a drivers license without providing the ss and birth certificate.
