New Rules on Getting Replacement SSN Cards

Tax Tip of the Week | November 6, 2013 | No. 223 | New Rules on Getting Replacement SSN CardsSSN Printouts and Replacement Cards

The Social Security Administration’s (SSA) requirements for issuing social security number (SSN) printouts are less stringent than the requirements for issuing replacement SSN cards.Since SSN printouts have no physical security features, it is easier to counterfeit them, perpetrate SSN misuse and commit identity theft. To resolve this problem, beginning June 24, 2013, if you are applying for a replacement social security card, or simply asking for a printout of your social security numbers, you will need to provide SSA with proof of identity.Review Getting a Social Security Card for more information on the documents now required to obtain an SSN replacement card or printout.You can contact us in Dayton at 937-436-3133 and in Xenia at 937-372-3504.  Or visit our website.
