Let's take a look at simplifying the process of accessing your Social Security information online.

By setting up a “My Social Security” account on SSA.gov, you can unlock a wealth of services, including estimating your future benefits, updating personal information, and even replacing a lost Social Security card.

It’s easy and convenient –here’s how to get started:

First, visit the My Social Security sign-up page on SSA.gov and click “Create an Account.”

Then, follow the prompts to create a Login.gov account, verify your email address, and set up a strong password.

Choose your preferred two-factor authentication method for added security.

Finally, you'll need to provide personal information for identity verification – a standard practice to safeguard sensitive data.

Rest assured, the Social Security Administration prioritizes your privacy and security, sending a one-time code for identity verification each time you log in.

And that’s it! You’re all set to access your Social Security information whenever you need it. For further information, visit https://www.aarp.org/retirement/socia...
