To view Social Security statements, visit the Social Security Administration's website, and click Sign In or Create an Account. Select Create an Account on the subsequent page, and follow the instructions provided. You must verify information by providing your Social Security number, date of birth, email address and mailing address.
After verifying the information, enter your username and password on the login screen to sign into your Social Security account.
