Form I-765 is needed to apply for a replacement EAD card for OPT.  Follow the OPT instructions provided by ISSS, including the fee payment, with the following exceptions:

• Check box for Replacement of lost Employment Authorization Document at top of Form I-765 
• Send photocopies of all I-20s and a (copy of) new I-20 with current OPT recommendation, in addition to the other documents required.

• You will need new documents and current authorization for work in the US in order to apply for a new Social Security Card.  If you think somebody is using your Social Security Number, call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
• Note: If you already have a Social Security Number, you usually do not need to show it to anyone.  Generally, you only need to know the number for tax filing purposes and for providing to your employer.  If you do not know your number, you should check with any previous employers, schools, or other institutions (such as your bank) that may have it on record, or on copies of tax forms you previously filed.

• Be sure to check your accounts for evidence that any stolen documents (such as credit cards, checks, ATM cards, etc.) are being used, and contact your banking institution if necessary to cancel or put a temporary hold on any accounts.
• You may want to check your credit report to make sure no one has opened a credit card or other account under your name (usually with a different address) and is charging purchases in your name.  The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires 3 companies to provide you with one free credit report every 12 months. (See the following US Federal Trade Commission web pages for more information: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/, http://www.ftc.gov/freereports).  It is especially important to check your credit if your Social Security Card (or written Social Security Number) was lost or stolen with your identification.
• If you have not already filed a report with the police in the area where your documents were lost or stolen, contact the Penn Police to file a report.  The Penn Police may be able to provide you with additional information and resources.
