Social Security Q&A
Question:
I just moved. How do I notify Social Security of my address change?
Answer:
Changing your address with Social Security is as easy as logging on to your computer. Just go to www.socialsecurity.gov and select the "What You Can Do Online" link in the top left corner. The fourth item down is "If you get benefits." That's where you'll want to go. Then select "Change your address or telephone number." Once there, the web page will tell you exactly what you need to do to change your address with Social Security. You'll need to provide your new address, including your postal ZIP code. If more than one person receives benefits at an address (such as a husband and wife), each person has to make the address change. If you have a password with Social Security, that is all the information you will need to provide. Remember, you don't need a password to change your address or phone number. You just have to prove to Social Security who you are by providing certain identifying information. It's that easy. Even Social Security needs to notify the public when they move. That's happening on November 9, 2009, when the Northwest SSA office at 8020 Alamo Downs Parkway will be relocating to 411 Richland Hills Drive. It is about three miles southwest from the present location.
