Access My Social Security From Your Home
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 2, 2023
With so many services available online through my Social Security, signing up for a secure account will help you conduct Social Security business from home.
With your personal my Social Security account, you can:
- Estimate your future benefits and compare different dates or ages to begin receiving benefits.
- Check the status of your Social Security application.
- Review your work history.
- Request a replacement Social Security card (in most States).
If you already receive benefits, you can also:
- Get a benefit verification or proof of income letter.
- Set up or change your direct deposit.
- Change your address.
- Request a replacement Medicare card.
- Get a Social Security 1099 form (SSA-1099).
You can even use your personal my Social Security account to opt out of receiving certain notices by mail, such as the annual cost-of-living adjustments and the income-related monthly adjustment amount notice. Instead, through the Message Center you can receive secure, sensitive communications.
Let your friends and family know that they can create a personal my Social Security account today.

There is going to be a lot of disability fraudsters creating accounts and applying for disability once their extra $600/week unemployment runs out on July 31, 2020.
They certified they were able and available for work, but as soon as the extra $600/week runs out, they are too disabled to work.
How can they certified they are able and available for work, yet the SSA finds their testimony about their symptoms credible and award them disability?
They give the SSA evidence claiming to be permantly disabled before they collected unemployment. How can they permanently disabled and be able and available for work to collect unemployment?
It seem like another free money giveaway the SSA is going to hand out to these lazy unemployed people.

Hi Ashok, thank you for using our blog. At this time you must have a U. S. mailing address to create or access your online account. The “my Social Security” authentication system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet.
We recommend that individuals living outside the United States contact the nearest Federal Benefit Unit in the area for any assistance related to Social Security programs and benefits. Also, our Office of International Operations home page provides more information to assist our customers living abroad.

Sorry for off-topic, I am thinking about building an interesting web site for young students. Will possibly begin with publishing interesting information just like”Stephen Hawking was born exactly 300 years after Galileo died.”Please let me know if you know where I can find some related facts such as right here

I am emailing on account of my husband John Douglas Leaman. I need a 1099 form sent to my taxa accountant’s fax number instead of being mailed to me. How do we do this for John Douglas Leaman 5-30-1950?
Thanks Debra Leaman
