    You’ve had to present your physical social security card when accepting a job?? I have never and I’ve worked for a dozen different companies

        Maybe it’s regional? They don’t ask for my card in Michigan. But I do need to present it for a few things done at the SOS office. That’s the DMV in Michigan.

          That’s possible. Pretty sure it’s for state and federal taxes though.

        Never had to show the physical card myself either. Put the number in the online form and done. And yes I am taxed

          I mean, when every place specifically asks for your social and ID, yeah you do necessarily need to present it.

          I ain’t carrying my birth certificate around with me.

              Why are you just repeating what twenty other people already said in this post?

                Because that seems to be your argument as to why you should use a social security card over a birth certificate for the i-9.
