Sorry for the redundancy and spelling, I hit the wrong button. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the computer people.
The young man at the SS said he'd only seen a similar case once before - And it was another old card like mine.
Thanks, Kid.
Husband had to have his SS card changed, it was a shorten version of his name and it cause a lot of problems when he went to get disability from SS as all of his identification was in his full name. We got all the forms filled out and had a new card in a week.
