Check Out These my Social Security Features in the New Year
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: November 3, 2023
2018 is almost here! It’ll be a New Year. There’s no better time to tell you about the features we have in my Social Security . They not only save you time, but also put you in control of your retirement future.
There are a growing number of states (and the District of Columbia) where, if you’re a resident, you can request a replacement Social Security card online. Our new online version of the Application for a Replacement Social Security Card can make getting a replacement easy and stress free. It allows people to apply for a replacement card through my Social Security without traveling to a field office or card center, as long as you’re not requesting a name change or any other change to your card. We are working to add this capability to every state.
Your personal my Social Security account is secure and gives you ready access to your earnings records, Social Security benefit estimates, and printable Social Security Statement. Those who already receive benefits can view their payment history, current status, and manage their benefits.
Social Security has also made replacing your annual Benefit Statement even easier. The Benefit Statement (known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S) shows the amount of benefits you received the previous year and is needed for filing taxes. Now you have the ability to download it using our online services. There’s no need to visit a field office. A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is available after February 1 for the previous tax year.
If you don’t have a my Social Security account, creating a secure account is very easy to do and usually takes less than 15 minutes.
Putting you in control of your future is a key part of securing today and tomorrow. With my Social Security , we give you the power to steer your future in the direction you deserve.

My Conf code is 1734-2900-0011-9650. What is this code for and when is it or what part of it is to be used?

I am 87 yrs old. I started drawing Social Security at 62 yrs old. I have gotten Social Security for 25 years now. I work a full-time 40-hour-week as a cashier. There is still a deduction from my paycheck for Social Security. If I had that amount of money that has been deducted for 25 years which has gone to Social Security, it could help me pay the hospital/doctor bills for my wife’s brain injury from a head concussion and the heart attack (12/13/2017) which could help me tremendously. So my question is this: Why do these deductions continue after I have passed the age of 65, out of my paycheck for Social Security? … If those deductions out of my paycheck since 1992, when I was 62, deducted for 25 years mean anything (what are “credits” for?), I would like to think that increases in my monthly SS would be nice for me (87) and my completely DISABLED wife who will be 85 this January 2018, IF SHE MAKES IT..

I’m pretty upset, over-worked and tired. I take care of my wife and it is very difficult to look forward to just SS for income and paying bills to keep my wife alive. … I went to the local SS office in Keene, NH and talked to a young girl, behind bullet-proof glass, and when I asked “What can SS do for me?” she said “Nothing.”

I am so sorry you and your wife still struggle at this age. I had to deplete my retirement savings to try to take care of my mother and started trying to save over again at 55. Had to sell my home and won’t own anything until 67. We don’t live that long in my family and my generation appears to be the first in US history to live shorter lives that our parents. Widowed at 29 with two small kids and born in 1960. I fear that I won’t have any retirement years and that will be if I am lucky enough to remain employed. I truly hope we can get things better in time for things to be better for you and your wife. There is no way they should still be taking SSI/SSDI deductions from your checks at your age and still capping contributions at $118,500.00 annual income. That has to be changed. Imagine that. Making millions or billions and still only paying on up to $118,500.00 annually, if paying anything at all. The tax evading super wealthy and corporations need to step up here.

Received a 2% cost of living and took that 2% raise to pay Medicare Payment ended getting zero raise. That wasn’t fair when you are on a fix income.

Hello Michael. Please call 1-800-772-1213 for assistance. After you hear “Briefly tell me why you are calling,” say “Help Desk” for help with a my Social Security account. Sometimes, it might be best to visit your local Social Security office for further assistance. Thanks!
