I applied for the Social Security Card and paid for it to be delivered to my address. It has been over 21 days and I still did not receive it. I have my A-number and Receipt Number. Is there any way you could help?

A) Unfortunately, I cannot directly track your Social Security card application. However, I can offer you a few ways to check on the status yourself:

1. Check online:

• If you created a my Social Security account https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/, you can try checking the application status there.

2. Call the SSA:

• The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a toll-free number you can call to check the application status: 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday between 7 am and 7 pm EDT.

3. Visit your local SSA office:

• You can visit your local SSA office and inquire about the status of your application in person. You can find your closest office by entering your zip code on the SSA website https://www.ssa.gov/locator/.

Here’s some additional information that might be helpful:

• It typically takes 7-10 business days to receive your Social Security card after your application is processed, so waiting 21 days does warrant a follow-up.
• Have your A-number and Receipt Number handy when calling or visiting the SSA office.
