I have a distant relative in GA who is wanting to find some info out on a deceased
relative, she and I are going to split the cost of optaining a SS application record as
the person died in the late 1960's. I have some questions for those of you who have
done this. Part of my relative's note is this:
I've read all sorts of different opinions on obtaining SS appls. One said all of
these have been computerized and are available at local SS office. It said to keep saying
Freedom of Information when making your request.
My question is-- can you do this locally? When I have visited the SS office in
Evansville you need an appt to talk to anyone, and you generally have to wait for the
appt. Is it better to do it online? Any info about this from anyone who has done
this before will be appreciated. Online might be as fast as waiting for an appt.
And how long does it take? Thanks so much, and to avoid email clutter on the mail
lists, you can email me personally at gkeusch(a)psci.net Again, others might
want to know who have not done this before-- so I guess it is a judgement call.
