Social Security Statements Offer New Ways to Get Help
Changes Made to Statements Make Them Easier to Understand
Statements Now Available in Spanish
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is making it easier for people to understand and use their Social Security Statements. The agency has made several changes to the statements, including adding new information and making the statements easier to read.
One of the most significant changes is that the statements are now available in Spanish. This is a major benefit for the millions of Spanish-speaking Americans who receive Social Security benefits. In the past, these individuals had to rely on English-language statements or get help from someone who could translate the statements for them.
Other changes to the statements include:
- A new "my Social Security" section that provides personalized information about the recipient's benefits.
- A clearer explanation of how benefits are calculated.
- A new section that shows how the recipient's earnings and work history affect their benefits.
The new Social Security Statements are now available online at www.ssa.gov/myaccount. Individuals who do not have access to the Internet can call SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to request a statement by mail.
SSA is committed to providing excellent customer service to all of its beneficiaries. The changes to the Social Security Statements are just one way that the agency is making it easier for people to get the information they need about their benefits.
