Are they fingerprinting babies these days?

They didn't do that or assign SSNs when I was born.

My dad had to apply to get my SSN at some point when I was like 6-8 years old to continue claiming me as a dependent on his taxes.

Granted, that was over 40 years ago but I don't remember any of that happening when my 19 year old was born either (except for the birth certificate).

Must've not yet been a tax requirement when I was a young whippersnapper. Didn't get a SS# until it was needed for my first job at 9, in the coal mines.

I didn't get my first W2 job until 13... Lol .. maybe we're a few years apart.

Still feels like I'm from a whole different planet than a lot of the people online these days.
