Still Waiting for Little Man's Social Security Number

You know, one year ago I asked for the social security number of our Baby Boy.  Keep in mine at the same time I was asking WHEN he would be officially "named" and his birth certificate would be mailed in.  The social security card/number seemed like a secondary problem. I was just so upset that this little guy was still officially named "Baby Boy (mom's last name)".
Anyway, I was asking for both.....and getting no where....

Fast forward to now, One Year Later....
Baby boy is named, but still no Social Security card or number......
We have gone through THREE Care Managers, all of whom said they were working on getting the card.  Seriously, is it THAT hard????? I have had to jump hoops getting the required information for the state to issue one.  I find it hard to believe that the state needs shot records to obtain this card that should have been issued at birth. Anyway, I do what they ask of me, even though I'm still not sure that this should have been done by the social worker.  Still.....one month after finally getting all the required paperwork turned in, our CM says that she still doesn't have it.  Don't get me wrong, in the past I have blamed the CMs for not doing their part but I think our new one really is trying.  I just don't know why it has not materialized.

We have our taxes all filled out to file awaiting that one elusive number.....
