Local News in Brief : Orange : Social Security Checks Missing from Mails
More than 170 people in the city of Orange did not receive their Social Security checks this month because the checks never arrived at the postal facility in Santa Ana, Social Security Administration officials said Thursday.
The checks were mailed from the U.S. Treasury Department’s distribution center in Philadelphia on time and were expected to arrive at recipients’ homes on May 3, according to Virgil Kocher, an official at the regional Social Security Office in San Francisco.
Most of the people affected live in the 92667 ZIP code area in Orange, he said.
“The computer shows they were mailed out on time, but the post office never received them. Nobody knows what happened to them,” Kocher said.
People who did not receive their checks should file a claim with the Social Security Administration by calling (714) 836-3558. A new check will be issued within eight to 10 working days, Kocher said.
