If you get a Social Security Award Letter in the mail, make sure you hold on to it!

This letter is very rewarding indeed, as it lays out information about benefits. It can confirm you’re getting them, and tell you when and how much. The letter may also detail the terms of how to keep your benefits and avoid losing them.

We get it — most people have mountains of paperwork to keep up with. Social Security has its own documents to manage. The Social Security Award Letter remains one of the most critical. If you need to prove you have benefits or verify details about your arrangement, this letter can serve as a valuable source of information.
