Hellobee Boards

lol.
dd has hers.
haven't gotten ds' yet. he's 3 weeks old.

She has one and we got it ASAP! Broward County does not mess around...Her Ss card came a few days after getting home from hospital

Yep, LO has a SIN (Goooo Canada!)...I applied when she was a few weeks old...And it arrived shortly afterwards.

123-45-6789

LO got her SSN pretty soon after birth. 1 month or so, I think.

It took 4 weeks to get K's SS card. We still haven't received her birth certificate.

Yes, we got her card a week after she was born! Pretty shocking!

Yep. It took a few weeks.

I saw the title and was like omg!! Is Mr. Bee seriously asking bees to post their LO's SSN?!!?!? hahaha!

Yep! I got it in the mail maybe 3 weeks after he was born?

@Leialou: I know, I also wonder that! I'm sure there's some sore of mathematical formula for how they create them, though. I actually hadn't noticed someone has my LO's same SSN!

5551212. We got it the first month. She starts work Monday.

Yep, needed to it to put her on our health ins.

Our LO isn't born yet but as soon as he is, we have a month to go the American consulate to file for citizenship and a passport/SSN. (We're expats in Shanghai) It's going to be an interesting experience for us!

I saw the title and was going to come in here to tell everybody not to post...figured the sleep deprivation had finally gotten to @mrbee: !

Yup, got it after I registered her birth abroad. I was surprised at how fast it came!

Yep, we got it a few weeks after her birth.

@Boogs: I know that it's related to geography (I think the first three numbers indicate what state or something.) 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.

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.

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?
