When are social security w2 mailed out

The Social Security Administration (SSA) typically mails out W-2 forms to employees and self-employed individuals in January of each year. The exact mailing date may vary depending on the employer, but it's usually around the end of January or early February.

Here's a general timeline to expect:

• January 1: Employers are required to provide W-2 forms to employees by January 31st.
• January 31: Employers must submit W-2 forms to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
• Late January to early February: Employers typically mail W-2 forms to employees.
• February 1: The SSA begins processing W-2 forms and verifying information.

Keep in mind that some employers may choose to mail W-2 forms earlier or later than the standard timeline. If you're expecting a W-2 form from your employer, you can contact them directly to inquire about the expected mailing date.

It's also important to note that the SSA offers an online service called the "W-2 Online Ordering System" that allows employers to order W-2 forms online. This service is available from October to January 31st.

If you're having trouble getting your W-2 form or have questions about your Social Security benefits, you can contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 or visit their website at www.ssa.gov.
