Actually if you read the I9 document, you'd realize your full of your
S***
The I9 has 3 classes of documents. An employee must show 1 class A
document, or 1 class B and 1 class C document. Class A documents are
documents that verify identity & eligibility for employment(i.e. a US
Passport). Class B documents are documents that verify identity
only(i.e. a Driver License). Finally, Class C documents are documents
that verify eligibility for employment(i.e. a Social Security Card
*OR* Birth Certificate).
Therefore a SSN card is not even required to be shown to an employer,
as you can show any Class A document, or a Class B & Class C document
together, and if your Class C document is a birth certificate instead
of a Social Security Card the employer can not DEMAND to see your card
-- it even states right on the I9:
"Please read instructions carefully before completing this form. The
instructions must be available during completion
of this form. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION NOTICE: It is illegal to
discriminate against work eligible individuals. Employers
CANNOT specify which document(s) they will accept from an employee.
The refusal to hire an individual because of
a future expiration date may also constitute illegal discrimination."

Note that the Social Security Card is an optional Class C document,
not an identity document.
