At what age are social security numbers issued? Folks born in 1989 weren't adults until the 2000s

> It is a good idea to apply for your child's Social Security number and birth certificate at birth. If you apply at the hospital, the state agency that issues birth certificates will share your child's information with us. Then, we will mail the Social Security card to you. If you wait to apply, there may be delays while we verify your child's birth certificate.

Now they are usually applied for (and issued) at birth because the IRS requires you to provide one for dependants you claim on taxes since 1987.

Before that, usually you got one when you needed one, when you started working.
