There is definitely a formula. My old boyfriend and my current husband's were pretty similar since they were both born in Ohio in 1982.</p> <p>And yes, we got their SS numbers really quickly after they were born. I think hospitals are obligated by law to help you register for your SS number since the IRS started requiring an SS number to claim a child on your taxes.</p> <p>For my oldest, we lived in the middle of the desert when she was born. We didn't have a real street address, but they required one on the form. I had to just put the city we lived in, and then listed the mailing address below. Well, they MAILED it to the city with no address! Luckily our post office was so small, they knew me and knew I had just had a baby and put it in my husband's box. Otherwise it would have been a giant pain to try to sort it out. What if it got in the wrong hands and someone started ruining my daughter's credit when she was only a few days old? Kind of makes me wonder if we should monitor our kids credit on a yearly basis. Do any of you guys do that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-their-ssn-yet-what-is-it#post-497207 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:22:00 +0000 matador84 497207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol!
