A Better Online Experience: Social Security’s New Homepage Makes Access Easier for Everyone
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: September 24, 2025
Today, Social Security officially launched a newly redesigned homepage to improve online service to beneficiaries and the American public. This redesigned homepage provides a more-user friendly experience and encourages you to sign up for a personal my Social Security account to handle your Social Security business from anywhere, on any device.
The new and improved homepage can be accessed at www.ssa.gov.
Improvements to Our Homepage
Our redesigned homepage includes:
- Increased visibility for my Social Security account sign-up and sign-in. The updated homepage makes it easier for you to view benefit estimates, apply for benefits, check application status, or request a replacement card.
- New Life events section and webpages guide you if you’re unsure where to start, helping those who are facing life changes to better understand how we can support you. The new homepage provides entry points to more detailed resources for specific situations.
- Enhanced access to third-party services. The redesigned homepage includes a dedicated section for third-party services, such as for employers, representative payees, appointed representatives, and government agencies.
- “At a Glance” sections on new Life event webpages present key information up front, with options to access more detail as needed, while the homepage uses visual cues to categorize content.
- Improved website infrastructure that allows our team to easily make improvements based on user feedback and analytics.
Visit www.ssa.gov today to explore the new homepage and discover how these improvements can help you manage your Social Security needs more efficiently.

Two months and approx 15 phone calls and I still can’t access my account via login.gov or ID.me.
Something has to be done – this should not be that hard to do. I used myssa account for years without any issues and now, I cannot get to my account.

I received a text message from https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL
I’m wondering if this is a legitimate text or could this possibly be a scam. I’m afraid to click on it. Please advice.

I am an elderly do not drive, home bound woman who has always had the previous SS account online page. I attempted to set up this new one and I will need help getting it done. They are asking for users who are familiar with cell phone picture capture etc.

But do these interface changes also take into account the elderly or disabled who may be less tech-savvy?

I’ve had a myssa account for years, I can’t use that anymore it says I must login with Login.gov. I’d prefer to use myssa separately from the other information on Login.gov. Is that still an option? If so how can I change it so I can use myssa account?
