After you complete your filing, you'll receive your Social Security Card in the mail directly from the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA's stated delivery time is 10-14 days, though it can sometimes take 4-6 weeks or more depending on the work load of your local SSA office or card center. There is no way to speed this delivery time, because the SSA provides new cards only via postal mail.
After you sign up for Medicare online at the Social Security site you will get a confirmation number. Print and save that page that contains your confirmation number as you will need it to check the status of your Medicare application. You will also receive an email with a link to the Social Security site where you can check the status of your application. The email tells you to wait 5 days. What it does not tell you, and it is nowhere on the Social Security site, is that it takes 30 to 60 days to get approved for Medicare. It is sort of misleading in that you think that after the 5 days you might know something about your application, but it takes far longer before you will be approved.
