How to Replace a Social Security Card in Pennsylvania
You must have a social security card to work for most employers, and you also may be required to present your social security card when applying for other identification information such as a driver's license. If you have misplaced your social security card, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will give you up to three free copies of your card per calendar year, and up to 10 free copies in a lifetime. The SSA has many offices within the state of Pennsylvania to make requesting a new copy convenient.
