Baby's identity stolen?

I just spent a bajillion hours with social security. We never received E's social security card in the mail. They have documented that they mailed it a month ago. I was able I get his number and have to apply for a replacement card, but I'm worried about where the original is. My only thought is that perhaps someone took it from our mail. How would I check to see if someone is using his number? Do I run a credit check? I don't want to be paranoid but I don't want to be naive either with how prevalent identity theft is.

  • I don't know how to go about looking but I am guessing a credit check would help. I just wanted to let ya know I am sorry you are going through this and I don't think you are being paranoid. Let's hope the social security office just got mixed up and it never really got sent!

  • Yes you would run a credit check, but I would wait at this point to do anything. It can take a long time for things to get reported to a credit agency so it's possible nothing would even show up yet. My nephew's SS # was stolen by a girl at the pedi office and it took 6 months before anything even popped up. We found out because he started get credit card applications.

    Hopefully it's just a mix up on SS's part.

  • Thanks ladies! We are traveling overseas in July and I need to get him a passport, so I don't want anything suspicious to pop up either!

  • It took us a long time to get J's. like, it was probably close to thanksgiving, if not later. He was well over a month old. I never called ss because I didn't have the patience for their hold and run around game. There could have been a long delay between when they mailed it and we received it, I have no idea. DH was worried his identity had been stolen but his card showed up eventually. 
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!
