Social Security Retirement

Social Security Retirement 2022

The Social Security Office has a robust suite of online tools to help and find answers.  

Anyone age 18 and older may create a personal my Social Security account from any location and on any device at www.ssa.gov/myaccount. With a personal my Social Security account, most people can request a replacement Social Security card or Medicare card online, obtain personalized retirement and spouse's benefit estimates, check application or appeal status, and review their Social Security Statement. The Statement is an easy-to-read summary of the estimated benefits you and your family could receive, including potential retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. Find more information about the Statement at www.ssa.gov/myaccount/statement. ​
