[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 411333, member: 3493"] When oldest boy turned 16, we went to DMV for his learner's permit. After standing on the line for almost 2 hours, we found out that he had two SS #'s. When he was a born, we hyphenated his name but realized after a few days that it was just too long so we filed an amended birth certificate removing the hyphen. They sent us a new SS card which I filed away. I never compared the numbers on the 2 but used the first number with the second name. Anyway, I had to go to SSA to get it straightened out. I waited two hours there but finally got a letter that I could take to DMV showing the right number and name. Fast forward three years. I learn the day before it's due that difficult child needs working papers and H has misplaced his SS card. I went to SSA - right across the street from the train station so I didn't even have to drive, expecting to have to take the half day from work. Instead, they've revamped and divided the services in to groups. I was in and out in 20 minutes with a letter sufficient to get difficult child his working papers. His new card arrived in less than a week. I've also heard that you can now make appointments for filing for retirement or SSD and you come at that time and they will see you then. [/QUOTE]
