Questions about Social Security Benefits
If you have questions about your Social Security account, requests for new or replacement Social Security number (SSN) cards, or issues involving the granting or denial of benefits, visit SSA’s website at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Medicare or Medicaid Fraud
If you want to report Medicare or Medicaid fraud, please contact the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General at https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/index.asp
Lost or Stolen Social Security Card
Our office does not investigate the loss or theft of personal property including wallets and purses containing personal identification. If your wallet or purse containing your Social Security card is stolen, contact your local police department to file a theft report. You should also contact SSA directly to request a replacement Social Security card.
Misuse of Social Security Numbers on Federal Tax Returns
If someone incorrectly listed your Social Security Number or your child's Social Security Number on their tax return, or if the IRS has notified you that your refund cannot be processed because someone else has already used your Social Security Number on their tax return, you should contact the IRS at the phone number listed on the IRS notice, or visit the IRS’ Identity Protection website.
Identity Theft
If someone uses your Social Security number to obtain a job, credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services, contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC collects complaints about identity theft from those whose identities have been stolen.
