Milestone: 100 Million Americans Sign Up for Personal my Social Security Accounts

More than 100 million Americans have signed up for their own personal my Social Security accounts. We would like to thank everyone who has created an account so far and encourage anyone who hasn’t to sign up today! You can create an account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount/.

Our effort to transform Social Security into a digital agency is a core pillar of Commissioner Frank Bisignano’s goal to bring our services into the 21^st century. We want to offer our services to everyone where they are — even in the comfort of their own home.

“More than 100 million Americans have chosen to set up my Social Security accounts because they want immediate access to service, 24 hours a day, and tools to manage their benefits with ease,” said Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano. “This milestone underscores what we are working toward at SSA: providing convenient and best-in-class customer service that meets people where they are, whether it is online with my Social Security, on the phone, or in person at local field offices.”
