This message was on another list - - but everyone should know about it ..
. being the government, of course they have not posted this info anywhere
that we would have seen it until the increase goes into effect !!!
"I just thought I would spread the word that the fees for getting a copy of
a Social Security Application are going up drastically on 1 July 2001. If
you apply before then you will be charged the old amount which is now $7 if
you know the number, and $16.50 if you do not.
The new fees are posted at:
http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm (there is an underscore between
foia and guide) when you go to this link, check out the fees section.
It appears that the increases are more than substantial, they are gigantic.
This means that the time for procrastination is over.
The address you need to send them to is:
Social Security Administration
Office of Central Records Operation
Attention: Freedom of Information Workgroup
PO Box 17772
300 N. Greene Street
Baltimore, MD 21290 "
