Subject: SSA fees to go up for Apps... "If you have been procrastinating sending off for a Social Security application for any of your ancestors, now is the time to do it! Effective July 1, 2001, there will be a major fee increase for processing requests for copies of original applications for Social Security cards and for computer extracts of this information. This has been confirmed with Roger Williams in the FOIA office of the SSA. New Fees (effective July 1, 2001): Copies of the original application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5) will cost $27 if the social security number is provided, and $29 if it is not provided. These fees were previously $7 and $16.50, respectively. Computer extracts of the application will cost $16 with the number and $18 without. Requests postmarked prior to July 1, 2001 will not be subject to the new fees. So, if you've procrastinated on your requests, get them in now! Requests posted on or after July 1, 2001, will be returned if they do not include the new amount and a credit card number has not been provided to charge for additional costs." ----- Original Message ----- From: Misty Flannigan To: LADD-L@rootsweb.com Cc: ILJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com ; VAUGHN-L@rootsweb.com ; FLANNIGAN-L@rootsweb.com ; ILHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 9:03 PM Subject: SSA fees to go up Subject: SSA fees to go up for Apps...

Misty, Thank You for this information. I am one of those guilty of procrastinating, but with that big of an increase in price , I will have to get on the ball.
