> SS Card is one of may accepted forms of ID

Are those still as I remember them - with no biometric information (like a photo) and basically no security features?

It’s not intended to be a secure ID. It’s meant to be the number by which you claim your social security benefits. It’s just warped into this ungodly mess because people use it as a “secure” number.
Yeah I had to get a replacement a couple months ago and it's the exact same flimsy little cardstock card as we've always had.
