" If you have been procrastinating sending off for a Social Security
application for any of your ancestors, now is the time to do it!
Effective July 1, 2001, there will be a major fee increase for processing
requests for copies of original applications for Social Security cards and
for computer extracts of this information. This has been confirmed with
Roger Williams in the FOIA office of the SSA.

New Fees (effective July 1, 2001): Copies of the original application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5) will cost $27 if the social security number is provided, and $29 if it is not provided. These fees were previously $7 and $16.50, respectively. Computer extracts of the application will cost $16 with the number and $18 without.

Requests postmarked prior to July 1, 2001, will not be subject to the new
fees. So, if you've procrastinated on your requests, get them in now!
Requests posted on or after July 1, 2001, will be returned if they do not
include the new amount and a credit card number has not been provided to
charge for additional costs."
