Doesn't matter. SS is and has always been, a voluntary program.
A 14yo can't legally sign such a thing. Your parent(s) sig would have been the one that was needed.
It doesn't become binding on you until you accept it and use it after reaching the age of 18.
Until then, it was your parent's number that they needed in order to claim you as a dependent.
I'm well aware of that. That is why the courts couldn't rule against me. Now, it is a sick game. IF you have an SSN, you are required to file an income tax return. Without an SSN, you cannot get your National ID Card. Without your National ID Card, you can't register to vote or get a driver's license.
The SSA has hospitals tell most parents (at least where I live) that it is mandatory to fill out the SSA application before the baby leaves the hospital. They generally cite the Enumeration at Birth program in support of this. But, as you say, Socialist Security is still
"voluntary."
Back in the good old days when it was the INS, my employer told me I had to get a Socialist Surveillance Number ... ooops "
Social Security Number" in order to work. I asked him to show me such a document. He then produced an I-9 Form and it outlined the kinds of ID I had to provide to the employer. I told him to look along the sides of the form and there was an "OMB" number. I explained it to him to have him check it out. The OMB number was an Office of Management and Budget Number and it told you WHO and by what AUTHORITY the information was being demanded.
The problem was that the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) was the agency
"requiring" the I - 9 information. They had NO authority in Socialist Security matters and I had (probably still have ) a letter from the SSA that states "
whether an employee ever gives their SSN to an employer is a private matter between the employer and employee."
Technically you are right, but it is near impossible to live without National ID; it is being done to you by force, by fear, by distraint.
