Why does it take Social Security Adminstration 3 months to issue a replacement Social Security card?

Damn! Ususally it is two weeks. I would go to the office again. Now that you have proven your identity, there is usually a paper they issue that shows your ss number on it. You should be able to use it in lieu of your card until you recieve the actual card. Most employers etc will accept it as it is from the SS dept. Once you get your card, you can show it to your employer, etc.

It took about two weeks for mine.  But it depends on the backlog.  Mine was just a change of address.

in my opinion social security cards have gotten out of hand you need one for everything. when it first started out it was an optional retirement program funded by your tax dollars.. and look at it now you need it to get married its messed up

Most likely it is for tax reasons.  Once you become a citizen you are obligated to pay taxes.  So it makes sense to give "them" greencards and citizenship.\n\nWhy after a certain period of time?  Probably because of a statute of limitations on the crime of crossing the border without legal paperwork. (being here for 3 year isn't a crime - crossing the border illegally is)\n\nI am not 100% sure, but this is what I think based on what I hear on the news and my stint working as a recruiter.

You need to look at the original contract with the credit card company.   Generally it's 60 days.

Most states require payment within 30 days.\nBut it will likely be sooner if there's been no problems with the claim.

The phone call might be to give you an update on your case. The password is to get updates also I believe. Green cards can take anywhere from 6 months to 18months depending on which state you reside. Be patient unless they told you they mailed your card and you haven't received it 30 days after. Some states will actually call you with your case updates.Good luck

Since the "product" was shipped in August, and received by the customer at about that time, why did it take 3 months for the customer to charge "fraud"?\n\nIt seems to me that since the customer has not returned the item, that they are merely trying to acquire a "product" without paying for it.  You should inform the credit card company of the facts, and indicate that you believe that they are aiding and abetting a fraud. \n\nNext find an attorney that would be willing to initiate a civil action against the customer and the credit card company. You can get a referral from the local bar association.

It can take 2 to 4 months for the decision.  I had my hearing in early July got an answer in late September which was favorable to me  I collected some, SSI starting in late October and received my first actual Social Security Check on March 3rd this year.  I still have not heard about back pay.  My disability goes back to and is approved for back to January, 2002.  It is a long drawn out process.  If you have a lawyer involved the Social Security Office will not give you any information only the attorney and my attorney said he has had cases where the decision took one day less than a full year.  I waited 16 months for my hearing so I understand the waiting process can wear on you.  However be forewarned that even with a fully favorable decision it will take you some time to start receiving payments.  The best of luck to you and I hope that they have streamlined the process some in the past few months, however I have just given you an honest time frame of my case.  By the way once you get a favorable decision go to your Social Security Office and get them started giving you some SSI, it helps a lot when you have been waiting and it will come out of your lump sum settlement from Social Security.  Believe me I was glad to have that as an option.

it shouldn't take that long.  Try calling them...depending on what service they are using they should have had one the next day or possibly up to two weeks, but no longer than that i would say!

Usually, you will receive a letter from SSI informing you to come to your local Social Security Office and speak w/someone in person in about 30 days from the date of notification.

Do you realise that a Green Card can take up to 3 years to obtain, the time delay is normally 2 to 3 years. ANd you pay your Immigration Lawyer the monies, and they send it to USCIS on your behalf.

Go to your local Social Security office and take the court documents showing the name change and new birth certificate issued from the state of birth.  It only takes about 5 minutes to do.

You cannot request a replacement card online. You can mail it, but since you must send originals of identifying documents (your ID card), it's better to just do it in person. You can get the form here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5_rev.pdf and use the instructions here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10120.html
