Social security account on line.
« on: November 05, 2014, 08:43:37 PM »
Hello,
I have been here for a few years married to a UK woman. I would like to open an online SS account but I no longer have an American address.  Is it possible to get around this?
Thank you,
Hemog

No, unless you have a verifiable US mailing address per info on this website: https://americansabroad.org/issues/social-security/social-security-faq/

Q: Presently it is impossible to check my Social Security account online, as it requires a US Address. In fact it is Americans residing abroad who can benefit the most from remote access than those in the US who can more easily visit a local office.

To create an account (https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL/SiView.do), I need to:

Have a valid E-mail address,
Have a Social Security number,
Have a U.S. mailing address, and
Be at least 18 years of age.

A: The "My Social Security" system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account, and the initial release of the system does not support registration and account creation for users residing at foreign addresses. SSA is planning to add this service in the future. In light of the current budget situation, SSA has suspended the Request a (mailed) Social Security Statement service. You may be able to estimate your retirement benefit using SSA’s Retirement Estimator (http://www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator/) – for this, no online account needs to be created. (Thanks to the Federal Benefits Unit, Frankfurt/Main, Germany, for this response.)
