Check your phone book or the Social Security Administration Website (www.ssA.gov) to locate the Social Security office near you. Visit the office to request a personal earnings and esti¬ mate form. Fill out the form and mail according to the instructions. You will receive a statement from the Social Security Administration regarding your earnings history and future Social Security benefits you can receive. (Note: Formerly the request could be made online. The online service has been dis- continued and is now under review by the Social Security Administration due to security concerns.) It is good to request an earnings and benefit statement every 5 to 10 years to make sure you have re- ceived credit for all wages earned and for which you and your employer have paid taxes into the system.
