National Check Your Statement Day
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 6, 2023
Today is “Check Your Statement Day,” one of the days during National my Social Security Week and Financial Literacy Month when you can get serious about planning for your financial future. Social Security has been here for more than 80 years, securing your today and tomorrow with information, tools, and resources to meet your changing needs and lifestyles. And what’s easier for you than going online to access an important part of your financial planning routine?
One of the advantages of opening a my Social Security account is having access to your Social Security Statement instantly. With your Statement, you can review estimates of your future retirement, disability, and survivors benefits, as well as the Social Security and Medicare taxes you’ve paid. We base your future benefits on your recorded earnings, so you should access your Statement once a year to verify the amounts that we posted are correct. You can also check it whenever you have a change of employment or wish to verify any changes to your benefit estimate.
Join the millions who regularly check their Statement. Log in or create a my Social Security account today at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. And then, help spread the word about “Check Your Statement Day” by telling your family and friends!

Wanda G.
when can I get my ss benefit statement to show my insurance how much will be taken out of my check?
V.V.
Hi Wanda. Most beneficiaries can check out their COLA notice in the Message Center of their my Social Security account. You will also receive this COLA notice by mail in December. The mailings are staggered. In the future, you will have a choice of online or paper notification.
For more details, check out our Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) Information web page.

My name is Luetta Meredith and I have moved from 920 Anderson Street, Garden City, Kansas 67846 to 8302 Thompson Lake Drive. Missouri City, Texas, 77459 and I need to have my check mailed to a bank here.

Hello Luetta. Unfortunately, but for security reasons, we do not have access to personal records in this blog. If you get Social Security benefits or are enrolled in Medicare, you can change your address, even update your direct deposit information online, by using your personal my Social Security account. Thanks!

What form do I need to make out if my SS statement is missing data? I am asking for my husband.
R.F.
Hello Susan. If your husband needs to make corrections to his earnings record, he will need to go into the local Social Security office. He will need to provide proper ID and evidence of his missing earnings (W-2s, pay stubs, etc.).
To make an appointment or to discuss specifics about his case, he can call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Representatives are available Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Generally, you’ll have a shorter wait time if you call later in the week.
For any income tax related questions, he will need to contact the IRS. Their toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040. We hope this information helps!
