Request for copy of original Social Security Application
|
Social Security
Administration
Dear Freedom of Information Officer, I
am writing this request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5
US.C. Section 552. NAME
USED AT TIME OF DEATH I understand the fee for this service is $27.00 when the Social Security Number is provided And $29.00 when it is not. Included is my check for $ _________________ made out to the Social Security Administration to cover any administrative costs required by this request.: Sincerely, My Daytime Phone Number ( ) ______ - __________________ WRITE A LARGE "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST' ON THE ENVELOPE |
NOTES:
WRITE A LARGE "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST' ON THE
ENVELOPE
(Do not forget to do this or your request will be delayed.)
Read their description and fee schedule: http://www.ssa.gov/foia/html/foia_guide.htm
They now provide a Computer Extract which costs less. However if you are looking for the maiden name of the mother of your ancestor you would be wise to get the copy of the original record. Italian names are not always correctly transcribed (as many people found out on the Ellis Island Site). Therefore, it is better if you view the original record yourself or a good copy of it.
There are a number of Social Security Death Index lookups online. See the USA Tools page for at least 3 links. Anyone who died before 1962 will not be online. Also, those who never received benefits will not be online unless someone submitted their names. The official U.S.A. State Death Record will usually have the Social Security Number written on it someplace. If not you will have to pay for a search.
