This number called twice but left no message. I called this am and he answered the phone Social Security -- said he was in Wilkes-Barre, PA. They are apparently working on three programs (none of which I qualified for) but he said if it was really important someone would get back in touch with me.
Just got a call from these people. Last month I put in a 'Survivor Benefits' form on the Social Security web site. They did not ask for any further information except that I forgot to put in what type of Bank account his money was located in. Never asked for SSN number or anything that would cause concern to me as a parent. No Account information was given except to confirm if it was a checking or savings account and that was it.
The call is from Social Security in Wilkes Barre, Pa..They usually only call if there is a question about an application made recently for some type of service through them. Mine was in relation to my Medicare. No vital information was asked from me except to comfirm.
