Veterans May Obtain Duplicate Social Security Cards
Returning veterans can secure a duplicate of their pre service card by applying at a nearby Social Security Board field office. The Rockford field office manager said the central office holds records to issue a duplicate with the same number upon providing name birth date and parents names. If no card exists veterans may obtain their original number at any field office. One number suffices for all employers and locations as wages determine retirement or survivor benefits.
