who an or where can i go if i lost my social seruity card?

Answer 1

If you have lost your card, you may apply for a replacement but Social Security takes no action just because it has been lost. Reporting a lost or stolen card to us will not prevent its misuse.

However, a person using your card or number can get other personal information about you and apply for credit in your name. So if you suspect someone is using your number, you should take these steps to protect yourself and your financial health:

Educate yourself about identity theft;
File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission;
Check your Social Security record (call toll-free 1-800-772-1213) to ensure your income is calculated correctly; and Monitor your credit reports.

In most cases, the only time you will need to produce your card is when you apply for employment. Therefore, if you anticipate starting new employment, you should request a replacement card in advance.

You can replace your card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.

Keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you.
