      Hi, Josephine. Thanks for your question. To see if you’re eligible to apply for a replacement Social Security card online or to learn more on the process and what documents you will need to get a card please visit our Social Security Number and Card page. Keep in mind all submitted documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency and must (unless otherwise indicated) have been issued within the last two years. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents. Once you’ve submitted all the needed documents, it can take up to 10 business days from the date we received the application to mail a replacement card. We hope this helps.

    I called SS to report that my sister died in the Philippines on April 30, 2019. She has been living there and receiving benefits there since 2015. The one who answered the phone took all the information and told me they will stop SS payments to her bank account as of June 2019 to which I have no access. I was instructed to bring her death certificate to my local office which is West Palm Beach. Is it possible to do this without physically visiting the office. Please give me further instructions. Thank you.

    • A.C.

      Hi, Esmeralda. We are sorry to hear about your loss. You can mail a certified copy of the death certificate to your local office. We hope this helps.
