Dear Prospective Mortgage Borrower:
Important upcoming changes to the services at Social
Security offices across the country.
As of February
2014, the Social Security Administration will no longer offer Social Security
number (SSN) printouts and benefit verification information in our field
offices. However, to ensure a smooth transition, we will continue
providing these services if requested until April 2014. We are making
these changes to meet the increasing demands for our services at the same time
that our agency budget has been significantly cut by over $1B in each of the
last three years. During this same time period we have invested in
technology that offers more convenient, cost-effective, and secure options for
our customers to obtain certain services without visiting a local office.
Because the SSN
printout is not an official document with security features, and is easily
duplicated, misused, shared illegally, or counterfeited, eliminating it helps
prevent fraud. Employers, departments of motor vehicles, and other
entities requiring SSN verification can obtain this information in real time or
overnight using online government services such as E-Verify and Social
Security’s Business Services Online. Beneficiaries and recipients needing a benefit
verification letter can obtain one immediately by registering for
a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount,
or through the mail within 5–7 days by calling our national toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213.
I appreciate your
support for this effort as we work to provide the best possible service to the
American people. For future updates and news visit www.socialsecurity.gov/thirdparty .

questions, please feel free to contact me directly: Caroline Gerardo at
