When is ssa 1099 mailed

The Social Security Administration (SSA) typically mails Form SSA-1099, also known as the Social Security Benefit Statement, to recipients in January of each year. The exact mailing date may vary, but it usually occurs between mid-January and early February.

The SSA sends Form SSA-1099 to individuals who received Social Security benefits, including:

  1. Retirees who receive Social Security retirement benefits
  2. Disabled workers who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits
  3. Survivors who receive Social Security survivor benefits
  4. Spouses and children who receive Social Security benefits based on a worker's record

The form shows the total amount of benefits paid to the individual during the previous calendar year. This information is used to report income on tax returns.

If you're expecting to receive a Form SSA-1099 but haven't received it by mid-February, you can:

  1. Contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to request a replacement.
  2. Check your online account at the SSA's website (if you're enrolled in the SSA's online services).
  3. Visit your local SSA office to request a replacement.

Remember to keep your Form SSA-1099 in a safe place, as you'll need it to report your Social Security benefits on your tax return.
