The Social Security Administration is touting a refurbished website.  Visitors to www.ssa.gov will see the site’s various features in different positions from before.  Officials say the changes place the features most important to beneficiaries front and center.  This allows them to access their accounts and other needed information more easily. 

Jack Myers from the SSA speaks on the website.  He adds that the website puts links and other resources for accessing assistance in more conspicuous locations than before. 

Americans celebrated Veterans Day last month.  Myers reminds veterans to consider benefits provided both by Social Security and the Department of Veterans Affairs, as enrollment for each agency is handled separately. 

Myers also reminds those who undergo name changes in circumstances such as marriage to update that information with the SSA.  The process for doing so varies based on a number of factors, but the website can guide visitors to next steps.

Open enrollment for Medicare runs through this Sunday.  Eligible patients under Medicare should make any desired changes to their plan before then in order to be under their new plan at the start of 2026. 

More information on Social Security is available at www.ssa.gov.
