SSA's New Online Service Login
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a critical update for 2024 that all retirees must heed to continue accessing their benefits online. With millions relying on these services, the SSA's transition to a new login portal is a significant change that requires immediate action.
What’s Changing?
Previously, users accessed their online Social Security accounts via the "my Social Security" portal. However, the SSA is now switching to a new platform, Login.gov. This shift is part of a broader initiative to enhance security and streamline access to federal services.
Who Needs to Act?
If you set up your online Social Security account before September 18, 2021, you are required to transition to a Login.gov account. This change does not automatically transfer your login credentials or account information. Instead, you must manually create a new account with Login.gov to continue uninterrupted access to your benefits.
Steps to Switch to Login.gov
1. Visit Login.gov: Navigate to the Login.gov website.
2. *Create an Account: Follow the prompts to set up a new account. You will need to provide an email address, create a secure password, and verify your email.
3. Link Your Social Security Account: Once your Login.gov account is created, link it to your existing Social Security account by providing the necessary information and following the verification steps.
Why is This Important?
Failing to transition to a Login.gov account could result in losing access to your online Social Security services. This means you may not be able to:
- View your benefit statements.
- Update personal information.
- Check your payment history.
- Access other critical services provided by the SSA.
