As Shown On Social Security Card: Fill & Download for Free

As an American that lived in Toronto ON for 5 years here was my summation in the short time I lived there.Canada is a damn great country. It seems like a family of people vs citizens. Sure families have their issues, they really do but they’re still family.What I didn’t likeIt’s crazy expensive. Gas, food, hydro. I used to go into Loblaws and be totally taken aback by prices and I moved to Toronto from New York City. We’re supposed to be the expensive place.I won’t say the Canadian people are the most polite. I think that is a complete fallacy.Where I worked in Toronto they were quick to talk about a shooting that would occur in the USA or some racially charged incident there…but I wouldn’t hear them discuss the same incidents that would occur a few miles away within Toronto.I found it boring. Toronto is Canada’s largest city. I’d compare that to Minneapolis or Phoenix in terms of being large.What I likedLess “red tape” when I moved there with my husband (same sex couple) I was waiting for a struggle at the border to obtain my work visa. In the USA you’d fight for something like that and it would take ages. I stepped up to the counter at the border ready to rumble! They took my paperwork, looked it over, asked for $150 and gave me a visa. It might have taken 3 minutes. A few days later I went to get my S.I.N. card. (Social Security card equivalent) It was just as simple.I felt safer there. I slept better there because I worried less. Even though I didn’t find Canada to be “polite” I felt people would stand up for me if it was necessary and not ignore me. I felt included there. I felt people cared that you existed.I liked watching Canadian television and seeing numerous cultures represented like Asians and Indians that rarely get seen on U.S. television as being part of the American culture. In Canada they were shown on an equal level and not “other-ized”. Even though I thought it was a completely sophomoric show “Little Mosque on the Prairie” would never make it onto a U.S. television station but I was super happy to see it on a Canadian one.I’m not going to say which country is better than another. I don’t live in Canada any longer but I really miss it nonetheless.

Each year your employer sends a copy of your W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) to Social Security. We compare your name and Social Security number on the W-2 with the information in our files. We add the earnings shown on the W-2 to your Social Security record. It is critical that your name and Social Security number on your Social Security card agree with your employer’s payroll records and W-2 so that we can credit your earnings to your record. It is up to you to make sure that both Social Security’s records and your employer’s records are correct. If your Social Security card is incorrect, contact any Social Security office to make changes. Check your W-2 form to make sure your employer’s record is correct and, if it isn’t, give your employer the accurate information.Related ArticlesAdditional ResourcesYou also can check your earnings record on your Social Security Statement. The Statement is available online to workers age 18 and older. To review your Statement, go to my Social Security | Social Security Administration and create an account.

This happened to me this very morning (8th September 2018). I am an Australian visiting a German provincial town. I took my camera.I strolled into a public garden, through an iron gate, behind some buildings: “Wow! A fine example of ‘socialist realism’ (of one kind or other)! Look at those manly men building Germany circa 1930: a bricklayer with his trowel, a farmer sowing his corn, and a soldier to defend them.”I had taken three photos, and was pondering their exposures, when a police car appeared out of nowhere. There were 2 men and 1 woman, all young and good-looking. They stared at me. “Uh-oh”, I thought. They climbed out. In German, I asked, “Isn’t one allowed to take photos?”No. Not of military buildings. I was shown a small, weathered sign identifying the site, attached to the metal fence topped with barbed wire.They were polite and friendly, they wanted identification: I had a photo-less social security card in my wallet, but not my passport. (Gosh, you don’t carry a passport round in Australia—too precious—what if you lost it?)The leader said: “We have to know who you are … what with the times …”“Yes,” I answered. “A pleasant lady takes photos and behind her is a terrorist cell!”“Well, not exactly…” conceded the nicer fellow.The leader was in the car phoning headquarters to see if I was on a wanted list. It turned out I was not. The other had been examining my photos. Both led me into chit-chat.“So, you are on holiday?”—“Yes, I am visiting a friend.”—“What does he do?”—“He works at the Leibniz Institute. But today he is doing something else…”A pause, as we all mentally completed the sentence, “…and look what you get up to!”My photograph was taken by the police-woman on her mobile—full-length, camera round my neck like an albatross—and I was let go.“Auf Wiedersehen!” (=To meet again.) said the leader.“Nein! Hoffentlich nicht!” I countered. (“Hopefully not!”)“Tschüß!” corrected the nicer one, and we waved.So the answer is: No. Germany—or, at least, this particular wealthy, Catholic, academic-administrative, German town with no visible migrants and no poor—has rapid-response police, but is not a “police state”. They were polite; they quickly became as friendly as Australian police; they were better looking than Australian police … and they let me keep the photos!
