Important Information:

A mySocialSecurity account can be opened if:

• you have a U.S. mailing address and a U.S. cell phone and your identity can be verified,

OR

• you have a U.S. military APO address and a U.S. cell phone and your identity can be verified.

An account cannot currently be opened if you have a foreign mailing address.

If you have a U.S. mailing address, or U.S. military APO address and  a U.S. cell phone  and encounter any problem with the verification process, you will need to arrange to visit the Federal Benefits Unit in person, with proof of your identity.
