Note:
- If you're receiving Social Security benefits, you should update your address with the SSA as soon as possible to ensure that your benefits are sent to the correct address.
- If you're not receiving benefits, you can still update your address with the SSA to ensure that any future benefits or correspondence are sent to the correct address.
- If you're a representative payee (someone who receives benefits on behalf of someone else), you'll need to update the beneficiary's address with the SSA.
Remember to keep your address updated with the SSA to avoid any delays or issues with your benefits.
