Just thinking about Voter ID, and digged a bit. I thought about why American citizens are issued both a Birth Certificate and a Social Security #.

That led me to who is “allowed” to obtain a SSN. It turns out that the policy was changed in 2011. Why was this changed???

Why did Social Security # assignment change in 2011? Why is a “.gov” website talking about how it used to be?
