Has anyone else received an email about their SS security account recently. I have one but I don't want to open it. I went on the SS website and under MY ACCOUNT I see no messages.
 

Social Security and SSI beneficiaries are normally notified by mail starting in early December about their new benefit amount. Most people who receive Social Security payments will be able to view their COLA notice online through their personal my Social Security account. People may create or access their my Social Security account online at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
 

Not a scam. If they have an email address on file, SS can/will notify you to check your account.. And this time of the year they do.

I got an email that said I have a message at SS website as well, and I went to my account.
There was a notification about the increase in benefits for 2021.
I prefer this over regular snail mail.

Yes, exactly the same for me and several of my neighbors as well.
 
I have opened emails from Social Security that I deemed to be legit with no problems. The most recent one I got, about a week ago, told me to login to my account (no link provided... I wouldn't have clicked on it anyway) to see my COLA and new benefit amount. Sure enough when I logged in, it was there. I have opted out of receiving paper mailings. Perhaps that's why I get emails alerting me that there's something in my SS message box.
