How can you access your Social Security benefits online?

By signing up for an account on the Social Security website, users keep track of their benefits and earnings, estimate future benefits and make changes to their benefits. Setting up an account only takes a few minutes.

Enrolling on the Social Security website offers a wide variety of benefits for those currently receiving Social Security, those who have applied for benefits, or those just wanting to keep an eye on how much they will receive once they retire. This is also the place to go if someone needs to change important information for their benefits, such as their phone number or address.
