What Should I Do If Social Security Won't Give Me A Date Stamped Copy?
From the article on this website
"Can I Suspend My Benefits At Age 66 If I Started Drawing At Age 62?" it states:
"You may also want to submit your request in writing and ask them for a date stamped copy so that you will have proof of your request."
QUESTION: What if the SSA refuses (even a supervisor) to provide a date stamped copy?
Do you know which section of the SSA POMS requires them to provide a date stamped copy
of documents submitted?
Thank You,
Stephen
Hi Stephen,
Social Security offices aren't required to provide date stamped copies of anything you submit to them, but most offices will do so upon request. If the office you deal with refuses to provide you with a date stamped copy, just be sure to make a personal record of the date you submitted your request and the name of the employee to whom the request was submitted.
Best, Jerry
