The age of digital transformation has brought us online shopping, online schooling, online work — and even online Social Security service.

With a Social Security account, which is free to create, users can enjoy many benefits. This includes the ability to apply for benefits, check application status, and receive a replacement Social Security number or card. The Social Security Administration recently updated its website, making it more responsive to users’ needs.

This is a timely decision, as they’ve been encouraging the use of online service as in-person support remains spotty. Online service’s main benefit could be that it saves you time and stress.
