HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Social Security Administration (SSA) is offering a modern way for users to access their social security numbers (SSN).
The move will now allow “my Social Security” account holders to have digital access to their social security number.
This enhancement will provide individuals who have forgotten their SSN or misplaced their SSN cards, to securely view their SSN online through the my Social Security portal.
This will also help reduce the amount of in-person visits and having to wait for a new or replacement social security card through the mail.
“We are proud to offer this new digital solution to our account holders,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner. “This enhancement reflects our commitment to providing better service to the public while ensuring that their personal information remains secure. We believe that this modern approach will meet the needs of our constituents in a more efficient manner.”
SSA added that by providing a secure digital option, the administration is aiming to reduce the risk of lost or stolen cards and enhance the overall user experience.
According to the administration, the feature is set to be available for users by early summer.
