The Social Security Administration is required by law to send these Statements automatically to eligible people:

• Who are age 25 or older;
• Have a Social Security number (SSN);
• Have any earnings on record;
• Are not receiving benefits;
• For whom Social Security can obtain a current address; and
• Have not requested a Statement within the last 11 months.

If you are eligible, you can expect to receive an updated Statement each year about three months before your birthday.
