Residents of a few metros (New York City, Philadelphia, Orlando and the Twin Cities) must use a dedicated Social Security Card Center for card-only services.

Yes. In most cases, U.S. citizens can request a replacement Social Security card, apply for retirement or disability benefits, and check benefit verification letters online at ssa.gov without visiting the Ponce office in person.
