Your Statement’s Not in the Mail

In order to cut costs, the Social Security Administration is suspending the annual mailing of your benefits statement.

It contains a summary of your earnings history and estimated retirement benefits. (The statement generally arrives three months before your birthday month; the last group to receive the mailed statement will have July birthdays.) You can still view your benefits summary online at www.ssa.gov/estimator, but this will not have the full range of information contained in the mailed statement. Starting in October, mailings will resume, but only to folks age 60+ who are not currently receiving benefits. Your best bet? Take control of your future retirement health by increasing contributions to a tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Account.
