Thought I'd share this from another list I'm on.

Sande in CA

this is found on another mailing list I'm subbed to: [.....sigh.....]


"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."
