Today, I’m excited to announce the first of several steps we’re taking to improve your experience on our website. Our newly redesigned retirement benefits portal will help you prepare for and apply for retirement.

We are working hard to continue improving our website to provide you with clear, helpful information, and easy access to our online services. Our new retirement portal is more user-friendly and easier to navigate, whether you’re ready to learn about, apply for, or manage your retirement benefits.

The redesigned portal will make it easier for you to find and read about retirement benefits, with fewer pages and clearer information. We condensed and rewrote most of the pages to make them easier to understand. The portal is optimized for mobile devices so people can learn and do what they want from wherever they want. And you can now subscribe to receive retirement information and updates.

Visit our new retirement benefits portal to find out how to Learn, Apply, and Manage retirement benefits. You also can learn how to create your own personal my Social Security account to see your latest Social Security Statement, review your earnings history, and receive personalized estimates of future benefits based on your real earnings.

More improvements to Social Security’s web pages are planned for later in 2020 as we continuously seek to improve your experience on our website.

    How can I tell if my phone message has even been answered? I called the help desk last week and got the name of my case worker, MR or MS Tran, called the number the SSA Help desk gave me and have not heard back. My retirement date is July one, and all I can see online at the new site is that my application is in process. Am I missing information to get processed? Approximate date of when it might get approved? My wife’s took 8 days to get approved, mine has been in for over two months.

    What is the SSA going to do about the SSDI/SSI disability fraudsters claiming Unemployment Insurance saying they are able and available for work to collect the $600/week extra in UI?

    You also have claimants who are applying for disability who are collecting UI claiming they are available and ready for work.

    This is same stuff they pulled during the 2008 recession, but on a higher level with the extra $600/week.

    The SSA and federal government are a bunch of suckers easily scammed.

      Instead of grumbling, contact the SSA Office of Inspector General with your specific claim of fraud.

    Sanders, Tony J. $1.5 trillion COVID-19 Special Issue Bond; $2.5 trillion Devaluation Proposal HA-20-6-20 http://www.title24uscode.org/devaluationfy21.pdf

    The mission of the Treasury is to maintain economic growth and stability at home and abroad; and manage the U.S. Government’s finances and resources. The total Treasury budget request is $692 billion FY 21 after three years between $602 billion FY 18 and $666 billion FY 20 this is not acceptable (Revelation 13:10). It is essential that the Treasury be defended against persecution by budget cut and inadequate growth, with supplemental budget appropriation under 31USC§321(a)(5) and §1515. To compensate for the wrongful practice of threatened budget cuts and budgets that do not compete with 2.7% average annual consumer price index inflation, funding calculations are made from the better of the previous year, since FY 17, the Secretary’s request or additional funds provided in Sec. 2201(f) of the CARES Act and other supplements. For only $2 billion FY 21 both discretionary and mandatory programs can agree to sustain 2.5% government and 3% services growth annually. To defend against the theological $6 billion Treasury $700 billion deficiency after 42 months FY 21, to the mandatory account of Claims, Judgments and Relief Acts is added the price of the $1.5 trillion COVID-19 special issue bond FY 21. A 10%-11.7% devaluation of the US dollar promises to magically spare the national economy the $2.2 trillion cost of both the $1.5 trillion bailout and regular $500 billion – $1 trillion federal deficit pursuant to pursuant to the Marshall Lerner Condition under 19USC§4421, 22USC§5301 and 2020 Revised estimates: effect of changes in rates of exchange and inflation Report of the Secretary-General A/74/585 of 11 December 2019. The reward for an 11.7% $2.5 trillion devaluation in the beginning of FY 21, not performed every year, would be no FY 20 debt whatsoever, and a larger domestic and international US dollar economy. To the $2.2 trillion speed ticket is added a year of free child SSI benefits FY 21 before the rich and state employees would be taxed by replacing Sec. 230 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§430 with ‘Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Trust Fund’, ‘To create in the Treasury a Federal SSI Trust Fund to end child poverty by 2020 and all poverty by 2030.’ The State Department is charged with cowardice. State Department, Foreign Operations and Related Programs is granted $66.6 billion FY 21 and at 2.5% growth will reach $71.1 billion FY 24, NATO may need a $500,000 boost FY 23 (Revelation 13:10). The Secretary-General must not fail to demand $7 billion to $8.7 billion just compensation for (Revelation 13:10) plus $1.2 billion arrears from the US, to collectively study and authorize US overseas deployments pursuant to Chapter VII in his peacekeeping assessment due June 30, 2020.

    my only concern at this point is , if I need to
    contact Social Security to have my address
    changed or my telephone number changed,
    it takes months. I am in my 70’s and no transportation. There should be an easier
    way to reach SS , with less hassel..
    My current address and phone number is
    Carol Carlson
    4197 Twin Lakes Drive
    Cloquet, MN. 55720
    Thank You!!!
