Does Social Security send emails to the public?

Social Security employees do contact the public by telephone, mail, or email for business purposes. We may send you an email after a discussion that was either in person, over the phone, or after completion of an online action. We also send informational emails about our online services.

Also, if you have a personal my Social Security account, we send an email once a year, approximately 3 months before your birthday. This is to remind you to review your Social Security Statement online. Additionally, in your personal my Social Security account, you may have elected to receive courtesy notifications by email. If so, we will send you emails when we deliver new messages or notices to your personal my Social Security Message Center.

You can wait but they say 55 million folks need to be ".gov financial oversight account compliant" before a certain future date. It'll get hectic at some point. My bank did similar as did another financial institution I have an account with. It's for our security dont'cha know. Joe
 
I tried sometime last year to create a Login.gov account. Wasted a lot of time, no success, so I gave up. Maybe they have changed the procedure for the better by now.
 
I already have a login.gov access because the Office Of Personnel Management (OPM) migrated to login.gov a couple of years ago, so I use it to look at my Civil Service annuity information. Now Social Security is sending me a letter with an activation code or pin so I can use login.gov to access SSN information. I don't know about you guys, but I grew up in the 60's without computers and I've had to adapt here in the 21st centruy to everything done on line. It's kind of a pain to keep up with all these passwords for my retirement income. Social Security is changing their way of login, DFAS-My Pay makes me change my passwords every six months or so to look at my military retirement, and OPM has their own rules for ID and Password. I'm keeping up with it, but barely. There has to be a easier and better way to access and authenticate ID securely and safely. I'm sick of all these passwords and changes.

Edit: Here's SSA's information about the migration to login.gov

Anything online or on phone get dumped. Show me the money in my monthly check and I’ll be happy. I just got a letter from my Local 449 Steamfitters pension. Those still working are getting a .01 per hour increase in their retirement benefits multiplier per hour because of their “wonderful” investments. We poor fixed income retirees will get a lousy $1500 one time bonus August 2nd. I would rather have a COLA. I went and told my young beautiful wife. Dammit! I’m not sure how the math works out, but I think I’m getting turned righty tighty. I’ll have to check the Guns For Sale section here! Now, if the PA state teachers pensions get a COLA, now we’re talking!
