funding. It will take about 2 to 3 weeks
to receive your new social security card.
Therefore, you must obtain a receipt from the Social Security Office
when you apply. This receipt will be
proof that you have applied. This
receipt will not be automatically given to you, so you must ask for it when you
apply. If you do not obtain a receipt
your personnel papers will be held up and your paycheck will be delayed.
