Hi Donna. Sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your my Social Security account. Applying for retirement benefits online does not require a my Social Security account. However, we offer various ways for you to reset your password. See our Frequently Asked Questions web page for more details. Hopefully you’ll be able to access your account soon.

We hope this helps.

I turn 66 on January 3, 2019 when is the earliest I can apply for these benefits. do in need to wait until January or can I apply now. If wo what website do I need to go to I have an account with your office..
Brenda L.
I have set up MyAccount with Social Security. My application for benefits was made in August 2018 – it is currently still “pending”. There is no area in My Account to send a message enquiring about payments. How do I do that? I am expecting SS benefits to begin in January 2019. But I need to know if there is any information or forms etc that need to be completed so there are no delays in the payment. Please let me know to whom I should address my question.
V.V.

To inquire about your application, you will have to contact your local office or call our toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
