Social Security NOW requiring Cell Phone Access
Ozark Granny Offer Upgrade User ID: 68077830 United States 08/02/2016 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Social Security NOW requiring Cell Phone Access I recently got an email from SSA that states that they will require cell phone access to access account. Something is 'fishy' ... "Starting in August 2016, Social Security is adding a new step to protect your privacy as a my Social Security user. This new requirement is the result of an executive order for federal agencies to provide more secure authentication for their online services. Any agency that provides online access to a customer’s personal information must use multifactor authentication. When you sign in at ssa.gov/myaccount with your username and password, we will ask you to add your text-enabled cell phone number. The purpose of providing your cell phone number is that, each time you log in to your account with your username and password, we will send you a one-time security code you must also enter to log in successfully to your account. Each time you sign into your account, you will complete two steps: Step 1: Enter your username and password. Step 2: Enter the security code we text to your cell phone (cell phone provider's text message and data rates may apply). The process of using a one-time security code in addition to a username and password is one form of “multifactor authentication,” which means we are using more than one method to make sure you are the actual owner of your account. If you do not have a text-enabled cell phone or you do not wish to provide your cell phone number, you will not be able to access your my Social Security account. If you are unable or choose not to use my Social Security, there are other ways you can contact us. To learn more, please review the Frequently Asked Questions found here."

last one I just don't give a fuck User ID: 60052792 United States 08/02/2016 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Social Security NOW requiring Cell Phone Access This is bullshit. I got the same email. I don't text(by choice), and the nearest SS office is 50 miles from me. I don't receive SS yet, but maybe I'd like to check on it without driving 100 miles round trip.

This is a good thing. Plus, even if you get social security, you don't need to go online. That's only if you need to update your address or something rare.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70637464 United States 08/02/2016 10:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Social Security NOW requiring Cell Phone Access Dont Use My Social Security to do anything. If you need to see if they deposited money into your account at the bank just call your bank or look at your bank account online. Also if you need to change something on your SS, I would not do it over the internet anyway. Things get so screwed up as it is, I would just go there and change what needed to be changed. Right now there is a few things you can still do, BUT... I agree with Granny, its probably just the beginning of the jump through hoops to get your money BULLSHIT.

TOTAL and utter BULLSHIT! I do not have a texting phone nor do I want one. Now I am denied my right to access MY information because I don't have or want to text? How illegal is this shit huh?? I am going to file a complaint with the ACLU today for denial of access.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72016321 Finland 08/02/2016 11:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Social Security NOW requiring Cell Phone Access Here it's been like that for a long time already. It's next to impossible to get a bank account, for instance, if you don't have a cell phone number and a valid e-mail address. Without net access everything becomes impossible. Face-to-face services at the tax office, for social services or in banks are hardly available anymore, or they cost extra.

I know many peoples SS numbers have been. SS only does direct deposit. If you want to protect your bank account, I would set up a separate account for depositing SS amounts, then move it over to an account that isn't linked to SS. So, if something does happen, you won't be totally cleaned out.
