Q) how long does it take to receive replacement card
A) According to Social Security Administration website; You can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you may not need to get a replacement card. Knowing your Social Security number is what is important.
You need a Social Security number to get a job, collect Social Security benefits and receive some government services but you do not often need to show your Social Security card.
If you decide you need a card, go to Get Or Replace A Social Security Card and follow the instructions.
