Reddit has a bunch of posts by 19 year olds asking for help sorting out their lives because they don't have a social security number and the government basically doesn't know they exist

It's really sad. Get your kid an SSN. If you really want to be safe, don't announce their birth on facebook until like 6 weeks afterwards and ask family not to post birthday pictures until way later
- wyclif 5y agoI used to have a housemate who is one year older than me and still doesn't have an SSN. He got away with avoiding it because he wanted to be off the grid but he's only had one job his entire life— working for his Dad's business. But it's a really bad idea and if anything ever happens to that business he's going to be in for a lot of serious problems.
- MerelyMortal 5y agoInteresting, thank you for sharing. I've also removed that part from my original comment.
- waynecochran 5y agoI didn't have a choice w my 3 kids. In fact I was forced to give my second child a name (we waited a couple of weeks deciding on a name) otherwise the name was going to be "Baby" in the birth certificate. We received SSN cards which laughably they had to sign. Interesting since I didn't get a SSN until I was a teenager.
