Social Security cards are pretty easy to replace. Take about 10 days once you file the paper at the Satellite office. I believe they only let your replace it 10 times. I do not know what happens when its the 11th time. I had to replace mine recently because I am going to get a passport soon.
Submission of a SSN number is required for a passport application. A SS card is almost worthless. It is not proof of citizenship and is also nof standalone proof of ID. An original, certified birth certificate and a in-state DL will do. The SS card is only acceptable as an "additonal ID document" which is only required in special circumstances. Details here:

Thanks for the advice everyone. I guess I'm going out to Brooklyn at the crack of dawn on Monday to see about a replacement. I think I'm mostly baffled that they wouldn't accept a tax doc in place of the SS card since it would have SS#, address, AND income. Weirdos.
Don't go Monday...you'll be in an empty lot! It's Columbus day!
I can't believe I still have my original SS Card...from when I was 13! (now 51! ) I also have my original birth cert. Complete with, in my brother's handwriting, the phone # for "Rocky's Cycle Shop" in Flint MI on the back!

Yes, my wife and I have both ordered birth certificates from Vital Check; we learned about it because the official web site for one of the two States in question named Vital Check as their recommended place to get official copies of their records.
