ss cards for parents..

My parents came here one month ago,got green cards but not social security cards yet,though we marked yes on the immigration application,noone has an answer if i call ss office,does anyone know time frame to get ss cards or what shud i do?how much time does it usually take to get ss cards?
Thankyou.

Call SSA and ask if they have an SSN application for your parents on their file. Your parents might have to visit SSA office along with their passport, Green card to get the answer. If they dont have the application on file, have your parents apply for SSN again.

Theyll need to visit the SS office in person, show their green cards, and ask for their SS numbers. The clerk should be able to look in the system and tell them their numbers. Then they can ask if the cards have been mailed.
