The 2-year-old does not have a valid birth certificate or a Social Security number, leaving her ineligible for Medicaid, day care or other services she needs, her dad said.
I can only imagine the bureaucratic nightmare of fixing this. When my wife and I got married, she took my last name, and when she went to SS to change it, somehow they managed to change her birth-date in the system, as well. I think the antiquated system they were using at the time required the operator to re-type all her information and submit the new record to a DB. Anyway, we didn’t find out until the following year when we tried to file our taxes and it was rejected because her birth-date didn’t match the file. It took 2 months to get it fixed, and that was just a date that someone had fat-fingered.
