Here’s an FYI in case you didn’t receive this information... Best to be prepared. Those who work in high positions within the Social Security Department are sounding the alarm. Elon Musk & Trump are about to cause the Social Security Department to collapse.
The most important advice that they offered is to: Go into your Social Security account & download a hard copy of your LIFETIME WORK RECORD!!!! It is really easy to do.
Here is the information:
Go to the ssa.gov website (or click below)
At the top of the page, you want the category:
CARD & RECORD
Go down to PERSONAL RECORD
Print out your EARNINGS RECORD
Hold onto it for your records. If you have never been to the website before you will need to create an account. Also, if it has been a long time since you have logged onto your account, you may need to create a new account. They have changed the sign-in procedure recently for greater security. I had to create a new account and that didn't take long. Once I got into my account, the rest was easy. This may seem extreme but if Musk deletes all of the social security records in his purge and you don't have a copy of your own information, they can easily say that you don't have a work record and deny you any social security payments. If you have a copy of your own records denying you will be much more difficult. If we don't need it, no foul. If we do need it, it is better to have access to it on our computer.
Please share - good regardless of whether or not yet receiving benefits or on Medicare.
