I sent for one recently and received it in about six weeks. I was trying to see if this could possibly my mother's brother. It was a shot in the dark but it paid off. I was able to verify that he was actually my uncle. What is sad is that He didn't die until 1978 but mother had no contact with him and told us that he died at Pearl Harbor. He must have had a lot of life experiences that he could have shared because he lived in John Day Oregon at the time he filed for Social Security. From what I have been able to find online that is an area included in a state preserve where historical digs take place. Back to the ordering of records, I have been able to get a wealth of information from the ones I have ordered. It Has been well worth the $27.00.

I am going to send for my great-grandmother's original social security application. I printed out the form that was on ancestry.com and I also know that the fee is $27.00. I have 2 questions: 1. Is this the only way to get this information? Or is there another avenue that might be cheaper? 2. How long does it usually take to get the document after I send in my request? Thanks in advance for any help.
