Because they are being stupid. You are not supposed to carry it with you. You only take it when you need to for something like the DMV. Otherwise it should just be filed away. A social security card is NOT ID.

Also, you can get a FREE replacement.

Thanks for the link! The last time I looked into replacing my long lost SSA card the government was much less "online" and it was going to involve spending money and traveling long distances. Thanks to you, I'm expecting a letter from SSA in the next few weeks to confirm my ID, and then I'll get a new card issued.
