It was announced today by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) that those with expired DTV Converter Box Coupons can request immediate replacements. As a result of funding authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the program’s waiting list for coupons has also been cleared.
According to the release:
“If an eligible household has redeemed one coupon toward the purchase of a TV converter box and the other coupon has expired, then it will be approved for a single replacement coupon. Consumers may apply for replacement coupons in accordance with existing program application rules by visiting www.DTV2009.gov, calling 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009), mailing an application to P.O. Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208 or faxing an application to 1-877-DTV-4ME2 (1-877-388-4632). Deaf or hard of hearing callers may use 1-877-530-2634 (TTY).
NTIA also announced that the Coupon Program has eliminated its waiting list and is processing all coupon requests as they come in with a maximum 9 business day turnaround time.”

It is possible that company will ask you for scan of the documents. I think it is worth getting $50:)
Sometimes you have to give up your basic data details, like surname or document scan. But never show your SSN!
