RM 10205: Social Security Number (SSN) Applications

TN 4 (10-09)

Use an acknowledgement notice when an applicant requests confirmation that he or she completed an application for an SSN card AND the application is in suspect status because an additional action is needed, e.g., verification or translation of documents.

Request the acknowledgement notice in SSNAP from the Additional Printing screen in the application path, or from the Forms/Letters screen accessed from the Main Menu when:

  • The applicant requests written confirmation that he or she filed an application for an SSN card; and

  • The application is in suspect status.

When an individual requests confirmation that he or she completed an application for an SSN card AND an SSN card is processed, see When an Applicant for an SSN Card Requests a Receipt for Filing an Application for an SSN Card, RM 10205.210.
