If you have forgotten your Social Security number, there is an easy way to quickly view information online.
“The digital SSN feature allows account holders to conveniently view SSNs when needed for reasons other than dealing with social security issues,” the agency said. Beneficiaries can access the digital SSN via mobile devices.
“This expansion will provide a simple solution for individuals who have forgotten their SSN or left them on their SSN cards, allowing them to view their SSNs safely online through my Social Security Portal.
According to the agency, digital access options try to minimize the risk of stolen or lost cards. The SSA encouraged all beneficiaries to take advantage of this option. This will be available this summer.
Lee Dudek, representative of the SSA, praised the possibility of SSN digital access to beneficiaries.
“This enhancement reflects our commitment to providing better services to the public while ensuring that personal information remains secure. We believe this modern approach will meet the needs of our members in a more efficient way.”
