The Social Security Administration abruptly canceled contracts that allowed new parents in the state to sign up their babies for Social Security numbers at the hospital, but on Friday reinstated those contracts.
I’m quite confused by this article. Though I wasn’t born in Maine, I was born in the USA. I’m literally looking at my birth certificate right now, born in 82, and it took them about a year and a half to even issue my birth certificate, even longer to issue my SS number.
What is the normal expected procedure these days, in case I ever have offspring?
SS paperwork is filled out and mailed at the hospital, then delivered to the house when the number is assigned. Birth certificate is printed at town hall of the city where the child was born, whenever you get around to bringing the certificate of birth over. At least that’s how it worked in Maine for my last kid.
