Receive Social Security Benefits? Keep Your Address Up-to-Date with my Social Security
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 3, 2023
Keeping your address up to date with a my Social Security account helps us mail your important documents to the correct place. If you receive benefits, you can use my Social Security to update your address. If you’ve moved recently, updating your information sooner rather than later will help us deliver important documents to you, including:
- Your Social Security Benefit Statement (SSA-1099);
- Important notices; and
- Your Medicare card when you first enroll or if you need a replacement.
Even if you get your benefits by direct deposit, Social Security must have your correct address so we can send letters and other important information to you.
If you don’t have a my Social Security account already, you can open one today. This is the easiest way for you to keep your information up to date. Within minutes you’ll have access to your personal information as well as control over important documents like your Benefit Statement (SSA-1099), which can be replaced if you lose it.
While you’re there, you can also check to see if your earnings record is correct. Social Security keeps a record of how much you’ve made so that you get the benefits you deserve. We can only pay you your correct benefit if your records are correct.
Putting you in control of your future is a key part of securing today and tomorrow, and having your correct mailing address helps us get important documents and payments to you. With my Social Security, we help you receive the information you need, when you need it. Open or access your safe and secure account today.

How do I check my address in my account to make sure the address is correct? I cant find a profile button to check my address. I opened my account on the 3rd of June and Im not sure I put in my correct address as I recently moved and I need to check my mailing address. I can only find my email address and telephone number. Where do I find my address to check to make sure its correct? Thank You

My case worker at the US Embassy in Manila Federal Benefits Unit is not even courteous enough to reply my emails when I make follow-up requests. Thanks anyway for your response.
