Social Security Statement
Your Social Security Statement (Statement) is available to view online by opening a my Social Security account. It is useful for people of all ages who want to learn about their future Social Security benefits and current earnings history.
For workers age 60 and older who do not have a my Social Security account, we currently mail Social Security Statements three months prior to your birthday.

Sample Statement
We redesigned the Statement to make it easier for you to read and find the information you need!
The redesigned Statement now includes a bar graph displaying your personalized retirement benefit estimates at nine different ages, depending on when you want benefits to start. It also includes your earnings history, and information on how to report an error if you find one.
We encourage you to review your Statement annually. Below, you can view a sample Statement and the valuable information it provides. Your personal Statement may include different language, depending on your situation.
