Does social security still mail out statements

Yes, Social Security still mails out annual statements to most beneficiaries and workers who are eligible for Social Security benefits. However, in 2014, the Social Security Administration (SSA) began phasing out the paper statements for workers under the age of 60 who are not yet receiving benefits.

Instead, the SSA now provides online access to your Social Security statement through your personal my Social Security account. You can create an account and view your statement online, which includes information such as:

  1. Your Social Security earnings record
  2. Your estimated benefits at age 62, full retirement age, and age 70
  3. Your estimated benefits if you continue working and delay claiming benefits
  4. Your estimated benefits if you claim benefits early or late

To access your online statement, you'll need to create a my Social Security account or log in if you already have one. You can do this by visiting the SSA's website and following these steps:

  1. Go to the SSA's website at www.ssa.gov.
  2. Click on the "My Social Security" button at the top of the page.
  3. Click on "Create an Account" and follow the prompts to create your account.
  4. Once you've created your account, you can log in and access your online statement.

If you're unable to access your online statement or prefer to receive a paper statement, you can contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to request one.
