Join the Discussion About Child Abuse and Neglect

Child abuse and neglect is not a subject many people like to think about.

Specifically, the benefit verification letter , payment history, and earnings record will be instantly available through an online account for individuals currently receiving benefits or Medicare. Social Security beneficiaries also can change their address and start or change direct deposit information online.

Individuals who do not currently receive benefits can access a Social Security Statement to review estimates of their retirement, disability and survivor benefits, an earnings record or estimated Social Security and Medicare taxes they have paid.
