We
currently have two cats in our family. Smirky is fifteen years old
and Jackson is almost six. The family doesn't have anything against
dogs but with our families being up north we take frequent weekend
trips away from the house and that wouldn't be fair to either a
dog's bladder or our rugs. (Click

Question:
I can’t seem to find my Social Security card. Do I need to get a
replacement?
Answer:
In most cases, knowing your
Social Security number is enough. But if you do apply for and
receive a replacement card, do not carry that card with you. Keep
it with your important papers. For more information about your
Social Security card and number and for information about how to
apply for a replacement, visit
www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.
