Are social security letters mailed from chicago
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), the answer is yes, most Social Security letters are mailed from Chicago.
The SSA has a centralized mail processing facility in Chicago, Illinois, which is responsible for processing and mailing out a significant portion of the agency's correspondence, including:
- Award letters: These letters inform individuals of their Social Security benefits, including the amount and start date of their benefits.
- Replacement Social Security cards: If you request a replacement Social Security card, it will be mailed from this facility.
- Verification letters: These letters are used to verify an individual's Social Security number and/or benefits for various purposes, such as employment or government benefits.
- Other correspondence: The SSA may also mail other types of correspondence from this facility, such as notices about changes to your benefits or requests for additional information.
However, it's worth noting that not all Social Security correspondence is mailed from Chicago. The SSA has other mail processing facilities located throughout the country, and some correspondence may be mailed from these facilities depending on the specific circumstances.
