After calling the toll free number, I had to go back to my original ss office because I didn't get my ss card in the mail within their 2 weeks waiting period. The lady there proceeded to tell me that my card was mailed to me a couple of days after I applied for it, but was sent back due to the fact that my lease is not under my name. She had me fill out ss-5 once again, gave me a print out of my ssn, and I got my card in the mail 3 days later. The label of my mail was:
MY NAME
C/O PERSON ON THE LEASE
MY ADDRESS
