Applied for replacement SS card over a month ago.
To this date, I’ve yet to receive it.
I went on line to apply…message states I enter an incorrect SS#….the same # I’ve had over forty years.
I need the replacement card immediately for employment purposes.
What more should I do?
My personal experience is to just go to the closest branch BUT call first or check online which documents you need to bring with you for proof to receive a replacement card! I haven’t had luck with this process other than going in (which can be a pain when your disabled and need to coordinate rides and help). Best luck to you!
Good info! Thanks.
Could someone please contact me at my work address so that I can retire on line since I have had issues getting in to SSI to do this from my GOV computer being blocked. I can be reached at 724-794-5612 X 5132 or by e-mail at: debra.ritzert@nbib.gov
I myself encountered a scenario relatively close as the one you describe.
It took quite a bit of effort and frustration to accomplish this, but the determination and persistence shall prevail in the “scope” of thing’s!
Good luck!
Also, a proper Thank you is being extended to the parties collectively for all their assistance in getting this accomplished!!
HAPPY MONDAY!

I’m trying to open my SSA Account online using my correct ssn # !!! I keep getting rejected. What would be the reason for this? I do have a security alert at all credit bureaus. Is this the reason? I previously had one n could enter with no problem. No code was provided for me. Tku.
Call SSA directly. Even if you have to hold for an hour or more they can resolve this. I had it happen too. Or go to a local SSA office. Ck online for best days/times to go as they do differ and are closed half day certain day of week.
Why beneficiaries overseas cannot create a My Social Security Account? This appears to be discrimination.
I can’t log in and it wouldn’t let me rest my password. NOW WHAT
Go to you local SS office they can set up a temporary password for you. This will give you a chance to rest you password. Hope this helps. Good luck & God bless.
I’m 82 years old and are unable to be employed for ealth reasons. It would be a GREAT convenience to have an email sent me if anyone tries to use my SSN for any reason. Please advise me if that’s a possibility.
Thank you.
When will you do something to the system to allow access for US citizens receiving SS benefits but do not have a permanent US address?
Please look into this matter. Thank you.

Dear Social Security, I live in Thailand and I would like to have an online SS account. Earlier that wasn’t possible. Has the situation changed? If not please change to allow retired persons living outside of the USA to have an account. Thanks very much!
We are sorry for the inconvenience, Richard. The “my Social Security” authentication system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet. Please contact your local U.S. embassy or consulate for any assistance related to your Social Security benefits.
Please send me my 2017 Social Security 1099.
The DMV requires an original 1099, not a copy, and I need to get my special drivers license renewal. They won’t issue it with a copy. They require the original 1099. Please send it to me as soon as possible.

I thought there would be an increase in my SS when the tax bill passed but mine is exactly the same as last year. My retirement from civil service changed. I’m a so called double dipper so every penny counts. My husband was retired military but I get nothing from his retirement except SS. I retired from civil service. Why was my income not affected?
Hi Edna. Unfortunately, and because of security reasons we do not have access to personal records in this blog and cannot answer your question at this time. One of our representatives should be able to provide you with an explanation. Please call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance.

my mother passed away on april 15 2018 what do i need to do to stop her benefits thanks for your help in ad vance
We are sorry for your loss, Joyce. Typically, the funeral director notifies us of an individual’s passing by sending the deceased person’s death certificate to the local Social Security office. However, you may report the death of your mom’s passing by calling 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Also, if your mother was receiving her payments through direct deposit, the bank usually returns Social Security payments after they receive the report of death.
Social Security benefits are paid the month after they are due. For example, if the person dies in February, you must return the benefit paid in March. Thanks.
I am in process of obtaining my deceased husbands SS benefits I live in AZ I did speak with a Keneisha out of Denver office and took my Marriage Certificate in so they could scan into your system and then she stated she now needs the Divorce Decree which I will be taking up this Friday to my SS office is there anything else I need so get this going?

Why can’t I check my Social security on line from Canada?
The “my Social Security” authentication system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet. Please contact your local U.S. embassy or consulate for any assistance related to your Social Security benefits. Also, our Office of International Operations home page provides more information to assist our customers living abroad.
In your case, you can also use the Canadian Service Area Directory to determine which Resident Office is near you. We hope this helps!

Hello Lonnie, our system is set up to take applications for benefits three months in advance.

Can she register on line,
Or does she have to go to a social security office?
My daughter receives SSD. SSA withheld $17,000 for attorneys fees, almost one year ago. We have tried with letters, calls, the attorney called from ODAR and they keep stalling not to return her money.. They know the attorney was fired plus he never filed the petition for fees. Now they tell us to wait for the Payment Center to contact her. How do we get the funds she is entitled to? My daughter was diagnosed with mental illness.

Can a receipant working report monthly wages on line yet? What is the best way to report wages?
Thank you for your question, Constance. If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, you may report your wages by telephone or by mobile app. Contact your local Social Security office to determine what options are available to you.
Individuals receiving Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) and their representative payees may use their personal my Social Security account to report wages online.
When you receive Social Security (retirement) benefits and work at the same time, we usually ask that you call us or contact your local office and give us an estimate of your earnings for the year.
Whether you are receiving SSI or Social Security Disability/Retirement benefits, it is very important that you keep Social Security informed about your work and how much money, or wages, you are making. Failure to report your wages may result in an overpayment. We hope this information helps!

I have previously created an account, however now when I sign in the message is no account create a new one. I create a new one and it tells me I have an account, then directs me to a page to log in with a message that I do not have an account and I should create a new one. This is a circle with no end – what do I do?
I have the same problem several times.
I had to go into a local ss office show my identy (lisc) and they corrected it and gave me temp pw then i had to go in to redo to a pw I choose. I wrote a message on their survey. it is a problem glitch i’m not happy about either.
ps any time you create a new pword you will see the expir. date- you must create a new pw before it expires.

I tried for years to get back on line with out any success, I was told by SSA personnel if you do not use site often enough they drop your ability to gain access. Seems counterproductive to me, i thought idea was to reduce call ins and people at local offices?
why can you not apply for a social secuity account if you live outside the country ?
Why can’t I view my statement 24 hours/day? I just tried logging into my account and a window pops up saying the service isn’t offered at this time and that I need to try again during your “service hours”.
What is the point of having on-line access if I can’t access it any time I want? Like at 10:35pm west coast time on a Sunday?
I quickly need a Social Security card replacement
Can you file a power of attorney with Social Security online? If not, what is the easiest way to accomplish this task?
Thanks,

My name is Hattie H. Thompson Small and I am 84 years old. In 1994 I suffered a major stroke and could no longer work. At the time when I suffered the stroke, I was working for The Department of education in Washington, D.C., though I had not earned enough quarters in order to qualify for social security disability. I’ve tried numerous times, applying for social security benefits, though I’m always told, I do not have enough quarters in order to qualify for social security payments. A large portion of my life I’d lived on the farm in Rock Hill, S.C. where I did not pay social security. I’ve tried with getting a portion of my husband’s social security benefits payments but I wasn’t allowed to do so. I’ve visited the social security office numerous time, but to no avail. I desperately need some help. Please contact me by mail or by telephone at: 1660 40th Street, SE, Washington, D.C. 20020, telephone: (202) 575-4083. Many thanks, Hattie H. Thompson Small.

i need to apply for another social security card my purse was stolen my card was in it
Hi Brenda, we prefer a government issued document with your picture, as proof of identity to replace your Social Security card. If you do not have one or you cannot get one within a reasonable amount of time, we may be able to use other documents such as:
•Employee identification card;
•School identification card;
•Health insurance card; or
•U.S. military identification card.
Any document you submit, must be an original or certified copy, current (not expired) and show your name, and other identifying information (date of birth or age).
Also, realize that you may not need a replacement card. You will rarely need to show it. Knowing your Social Security number is what is important.
To see if you’re eligible to apply for a replacement Social Security card online or to learn more on the process and what documents you will need to get a card, please visit our “Social Security Number and Card” web page.
We hope this information helps!

Have not received new Medicare card
Hello Joseph, to check the status of your new Medicare card, click here. After you check that, you can verify if we have the correct address on your benefit record, even ask for a replacement Medicare card by using your online my Social Security account. Thanks!
I have not received the new medicare card.
Is this a problem?
Hello Mary. To check the status of your new Medicare card click here. You may call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Thanks!
It is really inaccurate to say we can see our social security estimate on line when you actually DON’T always show it. I am currently NOT receiving my benefits, I AM receiving survivor benefits. But I can’t see what my benefits will be on my own social security either if I claim it at 66 or if I claim it at 70. Your site actually is not very helpful – which is sad because in-person help is difficult at best.
Can somebody please help me. I forgot my password.
I have not received my new card yet,address has not changed in 7 years.

If you are the divorced spouse of a worker who dies, you could get benefits the same as a widow or widower, provided that your marriage lasted 10 years or more.
You cannot apply for survivors benefits online. If you need to apply for benefits, call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Before Trump stole the presidency, I was of the opinion that the former GOP, Grand Old Party, was in a death spiral and would become what I heard on NPR, a regional old White persons’ party. It is pushing away women, immigrants, minorities. Now ‘Rockefeller Republicans’ are unwelcome in the small tent which only wants born again bigots, white racists, and the white hoods. It is strange the white gay men have considered the Republican Party theirs, because they are upper class and have their rights. Now hermafrodites who make up 2% of babies born, those who are sexually ambiguous, are being attacked. In the past 37% were registered and held 47% of elected offices. Now it is shrinking below 30% and the congress is spineless which may put the icing on the cake. It appears the nation will go the way of California with Republicans unable to hold a state office and in the legislator face a super majority by the Democrats. Republicans saying ‘Democrat’ Party insult their opposition. With Trump he raised the swamp by bringing it into the West Wing. I am an economic conservative and a social liberal. There are conservative solutions to housing, bring those with HUD housing, into the middle class with a change in the program with ‘NO EXTRA COST TO THE FEDERAL BUDGET’. Conservative economic theories not compromised by profiteers work. You will see a big budget movie thats a coming of age action adventure story of the 21st Century Cowboys and Indians’ movie that shows how redeveloping South Central has 4 square miles redeveloped with the 70 odd thousand existing residents kept with schools, hospital, parol and probation offices on location, locals trained to fill from part to full time jobs at living wages of $20 per hour. As may be surmised, I am a successful writer but I won’t lie for anyone. Words are powerful for those who have the power to put them together that makes sense to those with closed minds. Switching enemies to friends and supporters is possible by not being vindictive, but supportive of those who have known no better. Showing them their self interest and not abandoning them is refreshing and takes time to build a loyal team or employees or volunteers. If whoever reads this, great writers, earn great amounts for their ‘work product’! I wish you well if you are one of the good people. BTW, the earth will never be overcrowded with the ‘good ones’! The world alway has too many takers, dishonest, and liars. The Democratic party should fall with the young voters taking the place of us old dying off generation.

Hello. I am trying desperately to contact a Social Security representative to setup payments. I owe the SSA and would like to make good on my debt. I just started a position but am in training M-F, 8 am-5 pm, EST. This makes it impossible for me to telephone the SSA during normal business hours of operation. I will be paid September 7 and can start making monthly payments of $50 at that time. I will check my email in hopes you have messaged back with approval, lbrady0908@sbcglobal.net. If you need to speak to me, please feel free to call my cell, 330-605-5421. I notified my supervisor that if the SSA would call I would have to step out of the training room to take the call. The only time this would not be possible is if the call came during the middle of an assessment. In that event, please leave a detailed messaged and I will return your call as soon as I can. Thank you for your immediate attention.
I apologize in advance for not leaving my social security number but I do not feel secure about sending my email online. Thank you.
Thank you for contacting us, Lori. Unfortunately, and because of security reasons we do not have access to personal records in this blog and cannot assist you.

Need to change home address
I have not received new Medicare card and you have the correct address.
My husband and I added our daughter’s name to our checking account. We were told by the bank that we had to open a new checking account which we did.
Everything remained the same, except the account numbers on the new checking account. Presently, our Social Security is deposited directly in our checking account, how do I make these changes with SS to change the bank account numbers on our SS direct deposit. Do I send a VOID new check or what?
Hello Patricia, if you and your husband already receive benefits and have a new bank account, you can -each- update your direct deposit information by using your personal my Social Security account. Thanks!
I need a replacement SS 1099 to file taxes for my father who passed away Dec. 25, 2017 Tried to retrieve on line with no luck What do I need to do or who do I need to contact in order to get a copy of last years 1099
Thank you
We’re sorry to hear about the loss of your father, Sharon. In certain cases, we may disclose SSA-1099 information from the record of a deceased person, only to a survivor of the deceased and only if we are able to establish the relationship of the survivor to the deceased based on SSA records.
You will need to go into the local Social Security office with proper identification and supporting documents to make a request for a replacement SSA-1099.

The phone number to call for ss card replacement is too many digets!
Please advise !!!!
Hello, My mother recently passed away and I was curious if there is anything I need to report to Social Security.
Thanks
We are sorry for your loss, Erin. Usually, the funeral director notifies us of an individual’s passing by contacting their local Social Security office. However, you may -also- report the death of your mom or verify the information was reported by calling 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
To be eligible for a Social Security benefit payment, a person has to live throughout the entire month. If the deceased was receiving Social Security benefits, you must return the benefit received for the month of death or any later months. Keep in mind that Social Security benefits are paid the month after they are due. For example, if the person dies in October, you must return the benefit paid in November. Thank you.
have not recieved my new card
I’ve not received my new Medicare Card because it was sent to an old address. When I tried to change my address online I was blocked electronically. When I called Medicare they told me to change my address thru Social Security and then call them back. I’m starting to feel I’m in a carousel that won’t stop.. my old addresses were 1004 Courtyard West Newport 28557, and 1922 Cedar Creek Road, Fayeteville NC 28323. My current address is 410 Taipei Court Apt 83B, Fayeteville NC 28303. My latest phone number is 910-920-7779. Can you please help me so I can get my new Social Security number??

I was told that I cannot renew my retired Military I D card until I answer a question about Medicare. They say I was to receive a letter from you asking a question about Medicare. I have NO idea what they are talking about. The U.S. Counsel in Frankfurt says that they have no idea either. I am to retire at the end of August 2019. I need to know what´s going on?
Hi, Neil. You may want to contact the organization that issues your Military ID Card to determine exactly what you need. If you need a replacement Medicare card or immediate proof that you have Medicare, you can take care of both online by setting up a personal my Social Security account. Thanks.

The IRS has birthdate incorrect and I talked to a representative from the IRS and she said that they get their information from the Social Security Administration. How can I correct my birthdate online?
Hi Wanda, thank you for your question. To correct your date of birth on your Social Security record, you will need to apply for a replacement Social Security card by visiting your local office with required documentation. All documents must be either originals or certified copies. You will need to provide evidence of your age (for example, a U.S. public birth certificate) and current documentation for evidence of identity. See Learn What Documents You Need for a list of acceptable identity documents.

Just received a call and voicemail from +1(866)404-8958 stating that SS has suspended my SS# due to suspicious activity. Is this a scam?
Just rec’d another robot voicemail from a different # +1(866)404-9329. Same message
Hi Kelly: Thanks for letting us know. If the caller is claiming to be from Social Security—it is critical that you pay attention to the tone and content of the message from the caller. In some cases, the caller states that Social Security does not have all of your personal information, such as your Social Security number (SSN), on file. Other callers claim Social Security needs additional information so the agency can increase your benefit payment, or they threaten that Social Security will terminate your benefits if they do not confirm your information. This appears to be a widespread issue, as reports have come from people across the country. These calls are not from Social Security.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from Social Security, we urge you to always be cautious and to avoid providing sensitive information such as your SSN or bank account information. Never reveal personal data to a stranger who calls you, and never send the stranger money via wire transfer or gift cards.
Social Security employees will never threaten you for information; they will not state that you face potential arrest or other legal action if you fail to provide information or pay a fee. In those cases, the call is fraudulent, and you should just hang up. If you receive these calls, report the information to the Office of the Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271 or online at oig.ssa.gov/report.
At the present time my ss check is direct deposit to checking account #3301689770, routing #011402533 and I have opened another account #3315574253, routing #011401533 because of a problem and am notifying SS to direct future direct deposits to Citizens Bank, Manchester, NH, at your earliest convenience.
I hope this is enough information.
I just got a call from 936 730-2001 telling me there was fraud on my SS# and that I needed to call that number.
I did and got a man with a heavy accent that told me he needed my ss# and date of birth to help me with the fraud. He said his name is Lee Wilson and his ID # is GS2531.
I told him this did not sound right to me and I was not giving any info. He said I could call any police station and they would verify his ID info.
Sounds like a scam to me. Please check and advise me.
Hi, Patricia. Thanks for letting us know. We do not usually make random calls. If anyone receives calls saying that they are from Social Security, do not give out any personal information. Suspicious calls should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271 or online. You can find additional information here. Thanks, again!

How can I get a form to have taxes taken out of my social security check

The Form W-4V (to withhold federal taxes from your Social Security benefits) can be returned to your local Social Security office by mail or in person.

I would like to change my username. I cannot find how to do that. Can you help?
Not sure if doing this correctly or in right area, but searching for info on my deceased father. Not sure if I should give out his personal info here, but need to know how to find out if he really passed away in 1999. Exhausted all avenues in trying to obtain obituary notice and/or, death notice and/or, where buried. Was told to go to Social Security local office for this info. Have my proof of being his daughter and other docs including his firm he filled out to enlist in the US Army. Tried to call local office but unable to talk to anyone that could help. If going in the right direction, can you help? Just want to find him and visit his grave, but as if stands now, I can’t even get confirmation of his death. Will appreciate any help you can offer.

I just tried to logon to my ssa account for the first time in many weeks. I received a message stating that my account was locked out of electronic information since the system tried 3 times to verify my information and was unsuccessful and I would have to wait 24 hours to try again. I only tried once. This is extremely frustrating especially when I need information only available online for applying for services. Get it together, SSA!
Hi William. We are sorry that you are having trouble accessing your my Social Security account.

Hi, Brenda. If you are receiving Social Security retirement or disability, you can create a personal my Social Security account to change your address online. If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income, you should contact your local Social Security office immediately. We hope this helps.
With scammers sending out fake emails trolling for personal data, I am surprised you are sending out emails requesting people log into the social security website for information on these programs. I was pretty sure it was a phishing attempt. It is very confusing to get information from many government agencies indicating they won’t email you for information and then send out an email that basically does just that… Once you click on a link, you are asked to create an account, giving away very personal information when doing so… Might want to rethink this advertising campaign.

How do you make a payment for an over-payment online?

The one thing I haven’t been able to find on-line is how I can inform a person’s supervisor of the outstanding service I have received from the staff at the Social Security Administration office in Chambersburg, PA.
If a link exists can you have someone send it to me?

I don’t know how to tell you how to get over this,
exactly. Sometimes younger people have a hard time accepting that older people,
especially their parents, are sexual. Usually, time and growing up some more takes
care of it.
Is there a place or address where I can ask specific questions about what my wife will continue to draw upon my death? Im not having health problems right now. I’m just trying to do some planning.

Thanks
Hi Yvonne: It sounds like you may be asking about filing for Social Security benefits? Beginning with the month you reach full retirement age, your earnings no longer reduce your benefits, no matter how much you earn. However, by delaying receiving your benefits beyond your full retirement age, you will receive a higher benefit amount. See our Delayed Retirement Credits web page for details.
The decision on when to file is a personal one. The most important thing is to make an informed decision. Base your decision about when to apply for benefits on your individual and family circumstances. As an individual, you have four basic choices when it comes to work and retirement. Consider the four options laid out in our benefit matrix to help you make the best decision for you.
Our system is set up to take applications four months in advance, and when you’re ready, you can apply for your benefits online. If you need further assistance call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask to speak with one of our representatives, who are available Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Try change payee on onine
Hi, Jaqulyn. It sounds like you are referring to a representative payee. You cannot change your payee online. If you receive benefits, and you and the payee are not getting along, you may be able to receive your own Social Security check unless SSA believes you are not capable of managing or directing the management of your money. If you have a representative payee because of a physical or a mental disability, in order to become your own payee, you must show SSA that you are now mentally and physically able to handle your money yourself. You could provide: A doctor’s statement that there has been a change in your condition and that the doctor believes you are able to care for yourself; or an official copy of a court order saying that the court believes that you can take care of yourself; or other evidence that shows your ability to take care of yourself. If you have specific questions, please call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to speak to one of our representatives. Or you can contact your local Social Security office. Generally, you’ll have a shorter wait time if you call later in the day. We hope this helps!

She has opted to change her current banking institution where she has her social security check deposited automatically. She needs a form to complete for said change. Where can I find said form for her to complete ? Please advise.
She is not computer savvy, at all.
Hi, Steven. Your mother can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for assistance. Generally, she will have a shorter wait if she calls later in the day. She can also contact her local Social Security office. Because of privacy and security concerns, Social Security cannot speak to you about your mother’s benefits. If your mother is not capable of managing and directing her Social Security benefits, someone should consider applying to be her representative payee.

To learn more about becoming a representative payee, you can read our publication, “A Guide for Representative Payees” and visit the web page.

How do I get a copy of my work history for the past week 15 years
Hi Bill, thank you for using our blog. Your Social Security Statement shows a record of your earnings. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions web page for details on how to obtain one.
I need to contact “Problems and Resolutions Department”. I have been trying to get my Social Security Benefits Corrected since December 2018. I currently am 68 years old and work full time for the US Department of Defense. In December I filled out a questionnaire I received and informed the Department that at this time I need to continue working because of my wife’s illness and the number of dependents I have sharing my home. The Jacksonville office intern lost (Misfiled) The form and began reducing my monthly payments by 50%. In January 2019 I reported to the Jacksonville FL office and they located the form I mail In and initiated steps to correct the underpayment. In February when corrections had not been made we talked to an individual you after reviewing my file realized the error and arranged for an emergency payment to alleviate the underpayment condition. We received one direct deposit correction but my monthly payments continue to be reduce.
All of our conversation with people from the Social Security Department have failed to reap any favorable results. My homes Air Conditioning system failed Last year and I budgeted it’s replacement on the Monies I was receiving from Social Security. The Partial payment does not come close to covering this bill and the fact that this problem has not been corrected, had caused a great hardship for my family. I would appreciate help to correct this problem as soon as possible,

can my wife collect on my social security when she turns 62?
Hi, George. Thank you for your question. For your wife to qualify for spouse’s benefits, you must be receiving retirement or disability benefits. Also, if she qualifies for Social Security benefits on her own record, we pay that amount first. But if she also qualifies for a higher amount as a spouse later on, she’ll get a combination of benefits that equals that higher amount. Visit our Retirement Planner: Benefits For Your Spouse for more information. We hope this helps.

Hi, Raymond. Social Security Administration (SSA) employees occasionally contact individuals by telephone for customer-service purposes.

You may also call Social Security’s toll-free customer service number at 1-800-772-1213, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to verify its legitimacy (TTY number at 1-800-325-0778).

Hi, Lynn. In order to have taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit, you must start by printing, completing and submitting an IRS Voluntary Withholding Request Form (Form W-4V). On this form, you can choose to have 7, 10, 12, or 22 percent of your monthly benefit withheld. The Form W-4V (to withhold federal taxes from your Social Security benefits) can be returned to your local Social Security office by mail or in person. See our Benefits Planner: Withholding Income Tax From Your Social Security Benefits web page for more information. Thanks!

Thanks for your question, Judy. To be eligible for divorced spouse benefits, you had to be married to your former spouse for at least 10 years, and you cannot beeligible for a higher benefit on your own record. For more information on how to qualify for divorced spouse benefits, check out our Benefits Planner: If You Are Divorced. Hope this helps!

Is it possible for me to obtain a POA for an adult family member, not living with me, who, due to chronic illness, is too sick to hold a job or even apply for SSD?
I did not clarify that the POA would be to allow me to apply for SSD for this sick family member who is unable to do it himself d/t his ongoing illness.

My Medicare application has been pending for 6 months. I live in Madrid and I applied through the US embassy in Madrid. I am now in the States for summer holiday and visited my local social security office in Hyannis, Ma. On July 15. They informed me that there was an error in my birth year. I returned with my birth certificate, and they fixed the ‘error’ and gave me an international phone number to call. I called that number 7 times (4109658042). I then called 4109652210, and was told they would get back to me in 2 business days. I Am currently without health insurance in the US. Please help.

This is a joke! It’s supposed to be easy so they say, but after several attempts to set up an online account using what I know is correct information, the system says it can’t verify me. SO I call the number listed for help, jump through the hoops to try to obtain help only to be cut off and hung up on because they’re too busy!!!! Our Govt. fails again! Why should I be surprised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do I give the SS office the information that my sister passed away
Hi Janice. We’re sorry to hear about your loss. Typically, the funeral director notifies us of an individual’s passing by sending the deceased person’s death certificate to the local Social Security office. However, you may also report a death yourself by submitting the death certificate to your local Social Security office in person.
There may be some benefits to which your sister’s survivors (spouse or children under 18) may be eligible. For more information, please read our publication titled “How Social Security Can Help You When a Family Member Dies.”
Please let us know how to sign and submit my online social security benefits application. After reviewing the application only options are to go back or save. How do I continue?I reside in India and am unable to visit any office. Tried calling and hung up after 35 minutes!
Hi Dr. Meena. At this time you must have a U. S. mailing address to create or access your online account.

For information on Social Security benefit payments outside of the U.S., please see our publication titled “Your Payment While You Are Outside the United States.” We hope this information helps.

My brother has passed away and his S.S. disability checks are still being deposited into his checking account. What can I do to straighten this out.
Is there a way to receive electronic notification of deposit of a monthly SS check.
Currently we have to check the bank account daily to see when the deposit was made.
I used to be able to check what date my benefit would be credited to my checking account, but I can no longer find that information on your site. If it is still possible, how do I do that?
Thank You,
Hi Thomas. Did you know we have a calendar showing payment dates? Check out the Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments, so you can plan in advance. We hope this helps.

I am trying to see if I can set up a “my account” online. I am American but live in Germany. I will be returning to the US when I retire (in about 4 years.)
But the directions state I need an American mailing address? Right now I do not have one unless I use one from someone in my family.
(Right now I do get periodic letters through the post) sent to my Düsseldorf address from SS.
There are links asking this question, but they do not connect to an answer. Can you please instruct me?
Hi, Susan. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. You will need a U.S. address to register for a my Social Security account. Since you are living outside of the U.S. you can contact your local Federal Benefits Unit for any assistance related to Social Security benefits.
