LOL, no. I was born in '71 and my parents got me one immediately. I remember them showing me as a child and thinking, "Why do I care about this?"

Good for you and your parents, but it wasn't common until 1986 when Reagan's new tax code suddenly required social security numbers for dependents. It was 1987 when they started rolling it out as part of the birth at the hospital.

Your lol no tone implies I don't remember my own teen years.

You said we didn't get ss numbers until we got jobs and we said no.

Yeah, I was born in 80 and have had it since birth.

I mean, for sure you could. In my country would didn't get an ID card/number until you needed to get a job or travel by plane. I got mine when I was 12. But nowadays babies always get their I'd card after birth.
