We work hard to ensure critical benefits and other services are accessible to you. Consider the start of the new year as an opportunity for you to engage with us online.</p>
|
||
<p>This begins with creating your free and secure personal <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/"><em>my</em> Social Security account</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Once you create an account, you can:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Apply for retirement, spouses, or disability benefits.</li>
|
||
<li>Apply for Medicare.</li>
|
||
<li>Check your application status.</li>
|
||
<li>Request a replacement Social Security number card.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>If you do not receive Social Security benefits, you can use your personal <em>my</em> Social Security account to:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Get personalized retirement benefit estimates.</li>
|
||
<li>Get your <em>Social Security Statement.</em></li>
|
||
<li>Get estimates for spouse’s benefits.</li>
|
||
<li>Get instant proof that you do not receive benefits.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||

<p>Hi, I am getting this message when I attempt to log in to mySSA.gov:</p>

<p>“We cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later”.</p>
|

<p>I read online that this means I am locked out of my acct. and I can attempt to login after 24hrs. Is this true or do I need to call SSA during their bus. hrs.?</p>

In a few instances, we use marketing firms to raise awareness of Social Security’s online services, and this includes creating a personal <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my Social Security</a> account. With your account, you can get a Social Security statement. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We allow these firms to send email directly to individuals. Any links you find within these emails should always point to a “.gov/” web address. We hope this information is helpful.</span></p>
