It dawned on me recently that I haven't received a SS update for years. I used to get one every year stating how much I've paid in and when I could receive benefits. I went online and it said I must set up an account but must give my SS#. I'm very hesitant about giving that on line. Do they not mail out updates anymore? Some guys at work say they still get them and some guys say they don't. |

I set up an account with them a couple years ago. Now, each year, they send me an e-mail to tell me that the information has been updated. No problems with it yet. Of course, I don't really think I'll every collect it, but that's another story. _________________

I got the paper updates up to about a year ago. When I signed up for their website access it automatically ended the paper mail.
An interesting sidebar: when I signed up for website access, I had put credit freezes on my credit watch service. As a result, I could not complete the website access process until I removed the freezes, because SS checks that data when you sign up. After the account was successfully set up, I reinstated the freezes. _________________ Central Jersey VW Society

They do not check the data, they verify your SSN to the address you give when creating an account. For me not worth the $10 to get the freeze lifted, just went to the local Social Security office they gave me an access code, all down hill from there. |

I just set up online accounts last week. Didnt take long. Do NOT let your info autofill. Enter each line manually. That was the only problem that I had. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

So nobody had or heard of any negative reaction from giving your SS# to the website? Personally going to the local SS office is not convenient for me, so if I can do it online or by phone that would be so much easier. |

I just signed up online as it was also more convenient for me to do it that way.
A few days later I got a letter confirming it.
My wife did it over the phone a few months earlier, no problems with that either. _________________ Rick

I recently checked my benefits on-line. It was simple and seems secure. I have done this a for 2-3 years. I have not yet had any contact from Nigeria although I have received some messages in Chinese (Mandarin?) on my phone _________________ "Depression is a malfunction of the instrument we use to determine reality.”

I went online tonight to set up an account and they ask a bunch of questions. I answered them and it said my answers weren't true. HUH??? It then said I can't try again for another 24 hours. Sounds like actually talking to someone is a better idea. |
