About XML Files...

XML format is a way of saving information so that computer programs can read and use it easily. When you save information in the XML format, you may be able to let other computer programs import it as useful data. These programs might be for financial or retirement planning.

For example, these programs might help you with:

• Estimating your future retirement benefits
• Calculating possible disability and survivors benefits
• Recording your earnings history
• Estimating the payroll contributions to Social Security and Medicare that you have paid

How the Statement data is used will depend on the software program importing the file.

Since this file contains personal information and private financial data, we strongly recommend that you save it in a secure place and share it only with people or institutions that you trust.

To view or print your Statement, use the PDF file link instead.

Software developers can find more technical information about the XML file in our Developers Guide.
