This has always been the case

The servers probably go down for backing up each night.

skedaddleink.bsky.social•65 days ago

Hmmm ok hope that's the explanation. 🤨

jek6.bsky.social•67 days ago

Thanks! Just did it.

Did that 2 weeks ago. When they take my social security to pump up the Russian economy or line their pockets I will be camping out on The Mall.

If you download your SS statement to prove what you've paid in and are owed, what can you do if your money is stolen?

Trump already smashed the CFPB.

maplum.bsky.social•67 days ago

Done.

Wise advice I hope all my American friends will act upon -- swiftly.

What can people who are already collecting SS do to protect their retirement income?

richsanf.bsky.social•67 days ago

Your Bank account information is also at risk.

Thanks.

Done. And everyone should also download their tax returns for at least 5 years. Lastly, enroll in Norton Lifelock or a similar service. With social security numbers compromised you must protect against identity theft.

ipitythefool.bsky.social•67 days ago

I did it yesterday.

jbvta.bsky.social•67 days ago

Welp, guess I gotta wait to find out 🤦🏻‍♂️

screaminjay.bsky.social•66 days ago

Same.

rabbijill.bsky.social•67 days ago

ducks4real.bsky.social•67 days ago

Done!

madmode0900.bsky.social•66 days ago

Got mine!

Pretty soon he's going to stop the tax refunds because he thinks they're took much.

reginakob.bsky.social•67 days ago

Done. Thanks for the info.

eddiegalvani.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yes! Done and thank you.

trollbot.bsky.social•67 days ago

what you going to do with a backup of your social security payments?

print them out, make little sailboats, and float them on down the creek?

if they break it that bad there's no way your backup will mean anything

believesinscience.bsky.social•67 days ago

Good idea! Done…

snoconesummer.bsky.social•67 days ago

Done!

carlynclark.bsky.social•67 days ago

Thanks! It's actually really easy and quick to do

legalgran.bsky.social•66 days ago

Imperative to freeze your credit report.

Absolutely. There are three documents people should download: Salary history, benefit letter, payment history (if already receiving it), and then any messages confirming benefit in the messages/inbox section, including the 2025 COLA letter. It is easy to set up if you need an online account.
