A new and digital alternative to the traditional Social Security card will be available by early summer, the Social Security Administration announced Friday.
The agency will introduce a feature that allows all my Social Security account holders, whether applicant or beneficiary, the ability to access and view their Social Security number online.
The move comes weeks after the Social Security Administration walked back plans to reduce over-the-phone services and provided clarity about which account holders had to verify their identity in person.
My Social Security account holders will be able to conveniently display their SSN, when needed, for reasons other than handling Social Security matters, the agency said.
The agency is encouraging all account holders to "take advantage" of the new feature, which will be available starting early this summer.
