Social Security Announces New Online Video Hearings

By: Doug Nguyen

 

We are excited to announce the release of a new, standardized Benefi t Verifi cation letter.

People receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefi ts can obtain their letter by using their personal my Social Security account.

You can use the letter as proof of income for loans, housing assistance, mortgage, and other verifi cation purposes.

Please create your personal my Social Security account to access your new Benefi t Verifi cation letter online in a safe, quick, and convenient way without needing to contact us. People not receiving benefi ts can use their account to get proof that they do not receive benefi ts, or proof that benefi ts are pending, in the same standardized letter. Individual representative payees can also use the new my Social Security Representative Payee Portal to access the new Benefi t Verifi cation letter online for themselves or their benefi ciaries.

You can access your Benefi t Verifi cation letters at www. ssa.gov/myaccount. If you don’t want to use your personal my Social Security account, you can call our National 800 Number to speak with a representative or to use the Interactive Voice Response system. You can also contact your local offi ce. # # #
