There are many things community members can accomplish by knowing the abilities of their “My Social Security” account. With the start of the new year, the Social Security Administration is inviting citizens to consider engaging with their accounts online at ssa.gov/myaccount.

Jack Myers, a Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration says aspects like application information and even requests for a new social security card can be found at their site.

Important and time-sensitive documents like SSA-1099 forms are also available for a resident through the “My Account” tab.

With scam websites and promotions at an all-time high, Jack Myers reminds anyone searching for their social security details to always ensure the site one is using is ssa.gov.

To find out the power of your social security accounts, visit www.ssa.gov/myaccount to learn more.
