Social Security Changes: What Retirees Should Do Now

Written By: Anushka

Changes

Social Security is implementing significant changes to its online services, affecting all beneficiaries.

New Login

Beneficiaries will need to migrate to a new Login.gov account for enhanced security and compliance with federal regulations.

Single Access

Login.gov allows users to access all US federal websites with one login, streamlining processes across departments.

Migration

Accounts created before September 18, 2021, must switch to Login.gov. Accounts will close by September 2024 if not transitioned.

Steps

To switch, log in to your current Social Security account, find the option to switch, create a new account, and link it to your current one.

Assistance

If you cannot find the transfer option, contact SSA customer service for assistance with the transition process.

Agencies

Other agencies using Login.gov include the Office of Personal Management, Small Business Administration, and Department of Homeland Security.
