I’m trying to find out about my aunt Dolores Amoh; her home phone has been out of service and I am trying to find out did she pass away, as I have no information on her only child Sidney Crowe. Could you please help me find out if she’s OK??
Thank you for your help.

I was wondering if I can go to my account and set up to have taxes withdrawed from my S.S. check or do I have to go to the S.S. office thanks

Hi, Clarence. Thanks for your question. 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. We hope this helps.

This website is not user-friendly for those who are not technologically inclined. It also deleted information without an explanation.
Phone calls require a lot of wait time, which is also not conducive and/or helpful.

Hi Janice. We are sorry for your loss. You cannot report a death online. Normally, the funeral home reports the death to Social Security. But you can report your husband’s death by calling us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You may also report it at the local Social Security office. We hope this helps.
