Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Vonda V.
Hello Della, if you think someone is using your Social Security number, there are several actions you can take. Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions web page about this topic.
If you need a replacement card, you may be able to apply online. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions web page for details on how to apply for a replacement Social Security card. If you are unable to apply online and you do not want to mail in your documents, which will be returned, you may need to wait for the offices to reopen.

New card please
Vonda V.
Hi Robert, thank you for your question. First, realize you may not need a replacement card. You will rarely need to show it. Knowing your Social Security number is what is important. However, if you must get a replacement card, you may be able to apply online. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions web page for details on how to apply for a replacement Social Security card. If you are unable to apply online and you do not want to mail in your documents, which will be returned, you may need to wait for the offices to reopen. Use our Social Security Office Locator to find your local office address. We hope this helps.

Hi, I am a professional woodworking expert. I have a colleague who also works with me. In a sudden accident, he became disabled. But Social Security provides him with a source of income due to his disability.

Applied for retirement benefits ->approved
Approval letter -1st payment “on or about xx/xx/xxxx”
which has come & gone (I understand the on or about part)
Yet 3 weeks after approval website still says
“Next payment $0.00, on ”
How long does it take website to update benefits & pending payments & dates after approval? (NOT referring to a benefit verification letter)
A simple question but no answer to be found.
SS really needs to do a better job of website support
The faqs are ok with general info, but sorely lacking with technical info.
Thanks in advance
