How often are social security statements mailed
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), Social Security statements are no longer mailed automatically to workers who are not yet receiving benefits. This change was made in 2014 as part of the SSA's efforts to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of its operations.
However, workers can still request a Social Security statement online or by phone. Here are the ways to get a Social Security statement:
- Online: You can request a statement online through your my Social Security account. To do this, you'll need to create an account or log in if you already have one. Once you're logged in, click on "Get a Replacement Statement" and follow the prompts.
- Phone: You can also request a statement by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- In person: You can also visit your local SSA office to request a statement. To find your local office, visit the SSA's website and use their Office Locator tool.
It's worth noting that you can only request a statement every 12 months. If you request a statement more frequently than that, you may be asked to provide additional information or documentation to verify your identity.
If you're already receiving benefits, you'll continue to receive annual statements as part of the SSA's annual reporting requirements.
