Got a odd letter from the Social Security Admin..confirming my "change of address"

[Marie5656]

I got a letter from the Social Security Administrtin yesterday thanking me for my recent submission of my change of address. The letter stated it was sending it to my >old address"..meaning where I have lived for the last year and a half. I am totally confused. I am on hold right now with the SS office. I want to make sure it is not a scam, or possible ID theft. I will let you know what they say

That is odd. Do update.

Also, if you're using the SS online account, change your password ASAP.

 

[Tish]

I agree with Devi, please change your password asap.

OK..here is the scoop. last month I was checking my account online and realized I had not updated my phone number, so I did that. Turns out SSA files it under "change of address" and acknowledges it that way.

SIGH

Interesting.

Does that mean you will get a second letter?

Is there a S.S. office you can go to? Bring all your letters regarding your change of address and talk to someone face to face.

 

[Judycat]

Well that's a relief.

I do not think so But at least I will know what it is about if I do.

 

[Remy]

Whew! I'm glad that's what it was.

I have to compliment the SSA. Before they do anything, they will always send you a letter. Years ago, I got a letter from them saying I had changed my wish for direct deposit to having my checks sent to some address in Ohio ( I'm in PA.) I called them and they stopped that, and put a hold on my online account. Then I got the letter saying this is what they did. I'm glad things worked out for you, Marie5656.
