A standard letter to the Social Security Administration is available with the search results on the Ancestry.com Social Security Death Index. This letter may be printed and mailed to the Social Security Administration to request a copy of your ancestor's SS-5 form. The Social Security Administration now charges $27.00 for each individual copy (an abbreviated NUMIDENT printout is available for $16.00). *********** Good Morning All! The above is from the S. S. site as I'm going to have to send off for grandmothers social security app. to get any more information (hopefully) concerning her father, Edward Gerard LILES. Can anyone tell me what the "abbreviated NUMIDENT printout is and if it gives the same information as the copy costing $27.00? Thanks for your time, Marie "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." -- unknown

Some of the requests that I sent out before the price hike, came back as a computer print out of the same information. I really liked the copy of the actual form. So not expect to always have parent names listed. I received on and the woman was about 60 when she applied and the parent names were not on it. Crossed fingers that what you want is there, tho.
