Changes to Social Security’s Online Services

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is transitioning to a new login platform to enhance security and provide a more streamlined user experience.

Does This Apply To Me?

If you created your mySocialSecurity account BEFORE September 18, 2021, please keep reading as this affects your ability to access your mySocialSecurity account.

What Do I Need to Do?

For those users who created their mySocialSecurity account before September 18, 2021, you need to create an account with either Login.gov or ID.me to continue to access your mySocialSecurity account and other online government services. If you don’t have an account with either Login.gov or ID.me, you can begin your account transition now by using this link: Login.gov. Use your mySocialSecurity username to sign in, and the online instructions will guide you from there.

Why Is This Changing?

The new system is designed to provide better protection against unauthorized access and identity theft. It includes advanced security features to safeguard your personal data. The SSA will offer support and resources to help you transition to the new login system. If you encounter any difficulties, they will provide guidance to ensure you can access your account smoothly.

When Do I Need To Complete This By?

As soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted access to your account.
