What is a Social Security Statement?

Your Social Security Statement is a comprehensive record that provides valuable information about your Social Security benefits and earnings history. This important document shows your complete work history and helps you plan for retirement.

The statement includes your annual earnings subject to Social Security taxes, estimates of your future retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivor benefits for your family members.

  • Estimated monthly retirement benefits at various ages
  • Estimated disability and survivor benefits
  • Total Social Security and Medicare taxes paid
  • Number of work credits earned
  • Important messages about your Social Security record

Understanding Your Statement

Earnings Record

Your statement shows your taxed Social Security earnings for each year since you began working. Review this section carefully to ensure all your earnings are properly recorded. Missing or incorrect earnings can affect your future benefits.

Benefit Estimates

The statement provides estimates for different types of benefits:

  • Retirement benefits: Monthly amounts at early retirement (age 62), full retirement age, and age 70
  • Disability benefits: Monthly amount if you become disabled
  • Survivor benefits: Monthly amounts for your family members

These estimates help you plan for retirement and understand the value of your Social Security contributions. For detailed information about retirement benefits, visit our dedicated page.

Important Reminders

  • Review your statement annually for accuracy
  • Report any errors in your earnings record promptly
  • Keep your statements for future reference
  • Contact Social Security if you notice missing earnings
  • Update your account if your contact information changes

Common Questions

When Will I Receive My Statement?

Social Security automatically mails statements to workers age 60 and older who don't have online accounts. Younger workers can access statements anytime through their online accounts.

What If I Find Errors?

If you notice incorrect or missing earnings, contact Social Security immediately. Bring documentation such as W-2 forms or pay stubs to support your claim. Our Las Vegas office can help you report and correct these errors.

How Often Should I Check?

Review your Social Security Statement at least once per year, preferably around tax time when you have your earnings documents readily available.
