Social Security online users will soon have to create Login.gov accounts if they don't already have them. The Social Security Administration is transitioning all users who made their accounts before September 18, 2021, to the Login.gov platform. Any beneficiary who already has a Login.gov account doesn't need to take any action.
SSA says the change aims to simplify the sign-in process, while providing more secure access to online services. “my Social Security is a safe and secure way for people to do business with us,” said Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley. “We’re excited to transition to Login.gov to access our online services, streamlining the process and ease of use for the public across agencies.”
