question about new SS card....

hey ladies...well i figured since i'm married a year now, i might as well go and get my new SS card lol.(about time right?) ANYWAYS, as u know i've been interviewing for new jobs and the two of them that are very interested require a copy of my SS card...SO, my question is do they issue your new one on the spot??(i feel like i've heard this somewhere) or does it come in the mail?(and how long does it take). tia girls!

Got mine in one week.
I live in queens so had to go to the central card processing station in Jamaica.
You do get a receipt letter stating that a new card is being issued with your new name.

They dont issue it on the spot but you can ask them for a form that has your new name and your number and says that you are changing your name. They stamp it and all-its official. I went to the bank with it and it was fine.

Brought my passport and also my original ss card, which they did ask for. Original marriage certificate too.
They open really early in the morning, at 7:00. I got there about 8:15 on a Friday and was out the door by 8:30. Download the form so you don't have to fill it out there.

Ladies, I am now a Queens resident too - can I go to SS in Manhattan or do I have to go in Queens to this Jamaica one??
Thx!

Jamaica, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Jamaica is the central card processing center. That's why we have to go there. I tried here in the city, but was turned away. Wanted to go to Mineola, but the AUTOMATED SYSTEM TELLS YOU IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF QUEENS YOU HAVE TO GO TO JAMAICA.

REALLY??? So it depends on what borough you live in? THAT SUCKSASS cuz I was hoping to do it in the morning and just head into work (there's an SS office in Midtown).

Tell me about it - the SS office is down the block and around the corner from my office.
Good thing is that Jamaica opens at 7 in the morning, and if all your paperwork is straight, you can be in and out in no time. Just hop on the railroad to Penn or take the subway to the city.

I'm actually really P.O.'d right now cuz I just remembered there's a SS office right near my home in Queens!
Do you know what subway is near the Jamaica SS office? Thx!

I had no choice but to take the bus all the way from Whitestone. Let me think.... the SS office is on Jamaica avenue right off of Parsons Blvd.
E train to the last stop, Parsons Blvd/ARcher Avenue, walk one block up to Jamaica Avenue ; or F train to Hillside and Parsons, then transfer to the #34 bus to Jamaica Avenue.

Not to hijack this thread even further, but (1) that suckssss that you took the bus from Whitestone, and (2) isn't the last stop on the E train 71st Continental? And it's walking distance from there? That wouldn't be too bad...

ETA: ok ignore that... 71st is the last stop for the GRV trains, not the E. The E is 3 long express stops from 71st. Thanks!

not too bad of a ride.
#34 bus is out of our depot, so I get a free ride.
perks of being an MTA bride.

e Train schedule

Last stop is Jamaica Center (Parsons/Archer Ave).
It is just one block to walk.

is it just cause you ladies are queens residents? i didn't even think about this, i live in the bronx and i applied in midtown. they never said anything...

Yep, Susi is 100% correct and I just looked it up - suckkkkkkks for Queens and Brooklyn residents - we HAVE to go to the central office in our respective boroughs! Oh well.
