Residents have their identities tied to a social security card. Many residents have probably wondered if they were to lose it what would happen.

Jack Myers with the Social Security Administration says one of the most common issues the SSA deals with is helping residents get new social security cards.

Myers says if residents need to stop by the office they need to bring some ID and need to keep in mind it might be a week or two before the new card arrives.

Myers says some residents have paid for a new social security card, it turns out there is no need for this as it is always done for free.

Myers appeared as a guest on the NewsTalk WTIM Morning Show.
