Take 5 Steps Toward Your Financial Security

5 steps

For more than 80 years, Social Security has helped secure today and tomorrow with information, tools, and resources to meet our customers’ changing needs and lifestyles.

Social Security encourages you to take five steps toward your financial security. Planning for the future may seem intimidating to many, but we’ve broken the task down into small, easy steps:


  1. Get to know Social Security;
  2. Verify your earnings;
  3. Estimate your benefits;
  4. Apply for benefits; and
  5. Manage your benefits.

Our website is easily accessible and available 24/7 with detailed information, publications, Frequently Asked Questions, and other resources for almost any circumstance. You can use our secure services to estimate your future benefit amount, replace a lost Social Security card, or apply for benefits, all without having to visit a local office or calling to speak to a representative.
