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.

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....

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 ) |

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. |
