ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Nonetheless, it's not true that you couldn't get them until age 13. But you had to apply for it before you started working at least until roughly the late 80's. But since that wasn't the point I was making, you're talking to the Voices again. He maintained you *couldn't* apply. Not true. quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 Well, it's stupid for the govt to require it for a child.. its not for the tax purpose of the child, its for the tax purpose of the adult (which will already have one).. the childs name, sex and birth date & place of birth should suffice.. I just looked at Canada's Canada Child Tax Benefit form and no where do they ask for a SIN for the children.. It isn't exclusively either one. It's also for disability and death benefits. quote:
ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Under the 1935 law, what we now think of as Social Security only paid retirement benefits to the primary worker. A 1939 change in the law added survivors benefits and benefits for the retiree's spouse and children. In 1956 disability benefits were added. Keep in mind, however, that the Social Security Act itself was much broader than just the program which today we commonly describe as "Social Security." The original 1935 law contained the first national unemployment compensation program, aid to the states for various health and welfare programs, and the Aid to Dependent Children program. http://www.ssa.gov/history/35actinx.html
