Social Security changes are happening in 2024 as the government is making changes to how people will log in to access their accounts.

This change will require users to have an account with Login.gov or ID.me to access their Social Security accounts. These changes are for any Social Security account made prior to Sept. 18, 2021.

The Social Security account changes aren’t going into effect just yet. That means users can still access their accounts with an email and password. However, the government is planning to make this change in the near future.

Comments on Social Security Changes

Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley said the following about the change.

“My Social Security is a safe and secure way for people to do business with us. We’re excited to transition to Login.gov to access our online services, streamlining the process and ease of use for the public across agencies.”

It’s also worth noting that those with Login.gov or ID.me accounts don’t need to make any changes to their Social Security accounts. These accounts were created anytime a Social Security account was made after Sept. 18, 2021.
