Social Security Statements of Estimated Benefits

Starting in September 2014, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will resume mailings at five-year intervals to workers who have not signed up to view their statements online. The statements will be sent to workers at ages 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60. The statement includes an estimate of monthly benefits at various claiming ages. The SSA stopped mailing paper statements in 2011 due to budget cuts by Congress which resulted in big reductions in customer service. Don’t wait for the mail; sign up for electronic access to your account at: http://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/
