Easily Access Your Social Security Benefit Statement
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: November 3, 2023
Social Security puts you in control of your finances and future. We have made requesting or replacing your annual Benefit Statement even easier. The Benefit Statement is also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S. Now you have the ability to download it anytime and anywhere you want using our online services. There’s no need to visit a field office.
An SSA-1099 is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to IRS on your tax return.
If you currently live in the United States and you need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, simply go online and request an instant, printable replacement form with a my Social Security account.
A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is available for the previous tax year after February 1.
If you already have a personal my Social Security account, you can access your online account to view and print your SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can save the document on your computer or laptop and email it. 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.
If you’re a noncitizen who lives outside of the United States and you received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we will send you form SSA-1042S instead. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
When you have access to your benefit information, you can make knowledgeable decisions about your financial future. With you in control, you can secure today and tomorrow for yourself and your loved ones. Visit our website to find out more.

Why do you think you should? Have you paid into social security for the required time?

If someone has worked in the United States for enough years, the spouse (or former spouse, or widow or widower) and minor children qualify. for benefits. In the case of a divorce, the couple had to have been married at least 10 years.

Congress writes the laws. SSA must administer what the Congress and courts require. If you need the law changed contact your federal elected officials.

I am not satisfied with the with-holding amount of $135 from my benefits. That is too high for me. What options do I have? I need Dentures and glasses. My prescriptions are free. What is the $135 covering EVERY month I don’t go to doctor. All my tests for my age are done for 3 years.
