"Hello.  Someone on another list sent out a message giving the following URL. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm I've checked in out, and on 1 July (this Sunday), the fee for a copy of one SS application will jump from $7 to $27 if you do have the SSN, and to $29 if you do not.  Other fees are going up as well.  The entire list is at the above URL. So let's all get those requests into the mail. Lowell"
