To receive your annual Social Security earnings statement each year, you must request it. There are three ways to do this.

The easiest way to request your statement is online. To check online, visit www.ssa.gov/myaccount to sign in or create an account. Creating an online account with the Social Security Administration enables you to manage your benefits and information easily and securely.

You can also contact your local Social Security Field Office to request your statement. Visit https://www.ssa.gov/locator for more information about your local Field Office, including phone numbers, addresses, and hours of operation.

Finally, you can call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and use their automated services to request your statement.

There is valuable information on this annual statement, including your current Early Retirement amount, Full Retirement amount, and the amount you would get if you needed Social Security Disability Insurance.

If you need help with, or have questions about Social Security Disability Insurance, call Forbes Disability Group, LLC at (800) 665-1002 ext. 101 and ask for Mark.
