I received the following email...

《New Message Notification From Your "my Social Security" Account》
You elected to receive email You may log in to your account to view new Message Center items.

Please do not reply to this automatically generated message. To unsubscribe from future notifications, please log in to your account and update your Message Center notification preferences. I think it leads to somewhere. But I wonder if this is really an email from the Social Security Office.
Anyone who has received the same email, please let me know.

I get emails like that too, from SSA.
If you are worried, why don't you just log in normally without using that link ?.

I thought it was a notification that my SSI payment was up, and when I linked to it, I couldn't do it over the weekend. The link indicated that it could not be done over the weekend. Today, I was able to do it. I don't think it is a scam. I wonder if it was a 3 . 2% ( mistake ? ) at first, but on the second notice it was increased by 2 . 5% due to rising prices. 2 . It would be 5%.  2 . Even 5% would be nice, nice, nice. I do not receive anything in the mail because I do all my correspondence by e-mail.  I also received a tax return form in the mail.

You can tell from the sender's mail address.

SS office is located close to my house, so
I try to go there at the end of every year to ask the amount of payment for the following year.

These are usually scams, phishing scams. Don't go to the link and enter your personal information, password, social security number, or anything else. If you're concerned, call the SSA and check.

Thank you all for all the help and information you have given me.
I will call SSOffice tomorrow.
I'm getting so many similar emails that I can't decide which one is really necessary anymore, so I wanted to know if you all received this email as well. I have been sitting on the phone because it has been difficult to get through, but I will try to call them tomorrow. Thank you very much.

I do not click on any of the links in the email or Text because they are dangerous.
Since I should receive the new year's entitlement amount notice at the right time, I logged into my account on the ssa.gov site and looked at the message, which was the same as the Text one. As a result, it appears that Text came from SS Office.

I suggest you create your own account at ssa.gov if you haven't already. You can see all of your records, including address changes, Tax Forms, and records of your previous accumulations.
