A free and secure my Social Security account provides personalized tools and access to Social Security services to any adult, whether they receive benefits or not. Beneficiaries can print their own benefit verification letter and SSA-1099, change their address, update their direct deposit information, and, in most states, request a replacement Social Security card and Medicare card.
Someone not yet receiving benefits can use their account to request a replacement Social Security card, check the status of an application or appeal, view their earnings history, find out if they are eligible to receive retirement benefits, print a letter proving they do not receive benefits, estimate retirement and spouse's benefits, and more.
We created this web page to provide you resources and materials to help your outreach efforts. Your voice matters. Please encourage your clients to create and/or access their secure my Social Security account for all the terrific reasons above. We encourage you to share these materials widely, through external and internal websites, social media, blogs, and newsletters. Thank you for your support.
