Set to roll out early this summer, the feature enables account holders to access their SSN through the my Social Security portal, including via mobile devices. It is intended for use in situations unrelated to direct Social Security business—such as completing paperwork or verifying identity—especially for individuals who have misplaced their physical SSN card or forgotten their number. The digital tool reduces the need for in-person visits or waiting for replacement cards by mail.
According to the SSA, this new option is designed with security in mind, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII). By minimizing reliance on physical cards, the feature is expected to reduce the risks associated with lost or stolen documents while streamlining access for millions of users nationwide.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
SSA officials encourage users to take advantage of this modernized service, which aligns with ongoing efforts to create a more accessible and secure experience for beneficiaries. Those interested in accessing the new feature can create or log into a my Social Security account at ssa.gov/myaccount.
