Make sure you have all your docs and you can start the process online for replacement cards

I went to the SSA card center office here in NY (Queens Jamaica branch) last April 12th to update my name and immigration status and get a replacement card. Almost 3 months and no new SS ID card in the mail. I already started to worry. I thought because of Covid the cards have been backlogged. I finally called their customer service to know what's going on. The agent, after a long hold on the line, apologetically informed me that my records were never changed nor updated! To think i was inconvenienced that I have to personally go there and show my documents. Good thing they didn't hold my original documents, just photocopied it, but the lady who saw me already took away my original ID card! It was a smart decision for me to save a scanned copy in my computer file. Now i have to go back there and do the process over again, wasting me my time and the effort when it was their fault and incompetence that this thing happened. That's why if i could give negative points to this government office, I would!
Update: the very next day after i ranted at customer service, a Mrs. Davis called and left a voicemail saying that after reviewing my application they will finally send me the card in 7-10 days. Although there was no apology nor an explanation of what happened, at least i did not have to show up in person and start the process over again. I am still not changing my stars; will still have to see if they would really deliver what they told me in a week or two

Horrible service. Trying to get SSN for the first time and was told that it would come in mail in 4-6weeks. 6 weeks later nothing. Go there in person they can’t find any documents and no trace of anything. Now have to wait additional 2 weeks to god knows what happens next. Can’t work for 2 months because of them now
You need to go to your local social security office to update the status. You will need to show them the certificate of citizenship and photo ID of yours. You can't do it over phone or by online and no one can represent you to do it on behalf of you.

It is beauracratic, some people bring all the right documents, get there early, and sail right through. It varies, but expect to stay at least thru the morning. Bring a snack bar to munch while waiting...
No fee at this social security card center but online, they took picture of my credit card even after I provided your credit card number and no more reply.

From ssa.gov: "Benefit Verification Letter
If you need proof that you are receiving Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and/or Medicare, or that you are not getting benefits, you can request a benefit verification letter online. This letter is sometimes called a "budget letter," a "benefits letter," a "proof of income letter," or a "proof of award letter."
What is a benefit verification letter? It is an official letter from Social Security that you can use as proof of your:
income when you apply for a loan or mortgage;
income for assisted housing or other state or local benefits;
current Medicare health insurance coverage;
retirement status;
disability; and/or
age.
You can select the information you want included in, or left out of, your online benefit verification letter.
Note: If you applied for benefits but have not received an answer yet, you can request a benefit verification letter that shows your claim is still pending."
The Queens Social Security Card Center opens from Monday through Friday 7 am to 4 pm.
During inclement weather you may have to wait outside the building before 7am (Security check starts at 7 am) or after it if there are too many people already inside going through the security system;
This process is delayed by people bringing in items not accepted at a Federal Building and by applicants who do not understand English.
You have to call the national 800 phone number to get your local office Fax number.

This only show annual data.
