Q. How can I get a copy of my Social Security statement?

A. If you are age 18 or older, you may get your Social Security statement online conveniently at any time after creating an account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ mystatement.

The statement provides estimates for retirement, disability and survivors’ benefits, as well as a way to determine whether your earnings are accurately posted to your Social Security record.

Social Security sends paper Social Security statements in the mail only to people age 60 and older and, beginning

July 2012, to workers the year they turn 25.
