freaking out

[prairiemama]

I can't find Robin's soc sec card, so I don't know her soc sec number, which means we can't finish our taxes. I've looked everywhere and have found my card, my birth certificate, and Robin's birth certificate, but not her card. I know she has one because I used to enroll her in our health care last summer. I think this means I will have to go down to the SS office and wait in a fucking line with a toddler all to be told that I'll have to wait for the card? Don't know if they'll tell it to me right away or not. DREADING THIS.

Also, if we don't get our loan disbursement soon my head will explode. We are down to the last penny yet again this week waiting for Brian to get paid Friday and are behind on multiple bills. JUST GIVE US THE FUCKING MONEY. I'd call but I'm sure they'll say that they don't know when the money will get here and that it "takes a few weeks" from the time of acceptance. I just want to pay BILLS.

OK, I ended up going to the SSA office in Iowa City and they fixed everything in like 5 seconds (luckily/randomly I had Robin's most recent immunization record in the car and was able to use this for her ID). All that stress for nothing. I think in my head I was picturing the SSA office from when I got married, which served most of OKC and was therefore huge and took forever. This office had 3 chairs and no one else was there. So, taxes can be completed, which is awesome. And I got yet another letter about the disbursement of my student aid which must mean money is on the way, right???

You may be able to apply for an extension on your taxes.

Yeah, I know I can, I just don't WANT to because this is the only thing holding us back from being done and I want that money! :P :)

You probably already thought of this but do you have a copy of your health insurance forms? That would have her SSN on it.

I don't have copies around, but that's a good idea. Do you think they'd read that info over the phone? That seems like a thing they'd be paranoid about.

You can try that and, if that doesn't work, go to the office. I'm sure that would be easier than going to the SS Office.

I was going to second need4cognition...

In saying that you could contact your health insurance carrier and you could probably get the information from them.

Do you think they'd really give that info over the phone? It seems like such a weird request.

I think if you are able to verify other info, they might. It can't hurt to try - what could it hurt? You won't be any worse off than you are now!

first, i love your icon (as always) and your tags.

anxiety over any process requiring a SS card is always, always warranted. but i'm glad it fell into place, and even some money is (hopefully) on its way. both good ways to start out the week!
