The Social Security Administration has a Web site at http://www.ssa.gov. That site contains a good deal of information and Frequently Asked Questions.

On the Social Security Administration Web site, you can find a Social Security News portal where users can find the Cost of Living rate increase. Social Security recipients are also warned of new identity theft scams. E-mail cons designed to tell Social Security customers of their Cost of Living increase are sent to their inboxes, asking Social Security customers to click on the link that will redirect them to a dummy Web site. There, they are instructed to give their Social Security number to this site. Consumers should know, however, that the Social Security Administration ONLY issues correspondences by mail if they need to contact you. If you need to contact them, you are free to visit http://www.socialsecurity.gov http://www.ssa.gov phone 800 SSA-1213 (800 772 1213) or visit the nearest Social Security office to resolve your issues.
