  Really? If so, it was only to apply, and only when I visited the local Social Security office (initial application in the middle of the last decade was online). I don't remember being asked for it, but if I was I most likely wouldn't remember. After that, in the journey of a successful appeal because the denial was totally bogus (as in the denying staff doctor, who never saw me, wrote up a report that the administrative law judge, his assistant, my lawyer or myself simply couldn't understand), and dispersal of benefits, absolutely no demands for an ID card were made. Side note: I have an official Missouri "NONDRIVER LICENSE" (that's what it's called :-). Amusing name aside, everyone understands what that means and for everything non-driving related it serves the same purpose. It's also very cheap to get. Heck, my father has one because Missouri's concealed carry renewal period is shorter than the driver's license renewal period so this saves him money and hassle. EDITED: Massachusetts has one: http://www.mass.gov/rmv/license/13bMAID.htm http://www.mass.gov/rmv/license/13bMAID.htm along with a "Massachusetts Liquor ID" (!) that appears to be the same thing except for the obvious age limit. A bit expensive at $25/5 years but that's Taxachusetts for you (says this refugee from that benighted state). One also heard horror stories about suburban DMV offices but I always found the central Boston one to be on the ball, pleasant and efficient.
