Slip it into one of the thicker plastic baseball card sleeves. It's a perfect fit, can be easily pulled out, and provides excellent protection.

I work at a DMV. I have seen 10 yr old cards shredded to shit and 80 year cards in near mint condition. If great grandpappy can do it, yall can too.

back in high school I stuck mine in a hard plastic card case. Wherever it is now that I lost it, should at least be in good shape almost 30 years later.

I understand social security to mean paying into a state pension, a national healthcare service, and provision of education.

What does social security mean in the American context?

Depends on who you ask. For millennials and younger, it means paying lots of money into a service that will be dissolved before we get to tap into it.

It's also a number that's supposed to be kept secure or something, but applying for pretty much anything requires you to provide it.

Yeah, it became a sort of federal identification since the US government didn't want to make a federal ID and now we are stuck with a much more inferior system than if they just did anything. Since everyone got a SS card it became the de facto ID.
