    Apparently, even though I have never created an account for myself there is one for me that I cannot get into with my ACTUAL information. My email address isn’t wrong, there is not a way to fuck up my ssn i’ve had it memorized since I was 17 and I think I would know my own birthday so how is it possible that there is an account in my name but my information doesn’t work?

    I completed my Social Security Benefits application online. But when I want to submit it, I couldn’t find any button to do it. Can someone instruct me how to submit it?
    Thanks!

    I tried logging in and it would not let me create an account, it asked for my social security # and date of birth but said I could not be found. I am trying to get a copy of my award letter from 2009.
