A my Social Security account provides tools and access to Social Security services to any adult, whether they receive benefits or not. Beneficiaries can print their benefit verification letter and SSA-1099, change their address, update their direct deposit information, and request a replacement Social Security or Medicare card.
Those not yet receiving benefits can use their account to request a replacement card, check application or appeal status, view earnings history, estimate future benefits, and more. We created this web page to provide you with resources and materials to help your outreach efforts. Your voice matters. Go Digital! Please encourage your clients to create or sign in to their my Social Security account. We encourage you to share these materials widely, through external and internal websites, social media, blogs, and newsletters. Thank you for your support.
