Social Security Introduces New Fact Sheet for Those With Limited Earnings

You can view your earnings record and get estimates of future benefits via your Social Security Statement at your convenience through your mySocialSecurity account and now there is a section of that statement that is for those with limited earnings.

 

Jack Myers with Social Security explains included with the Social Security Statement are fact sheets that provide useful information based on your age group and earnings situation. Last month Social Security added a new fact sheet specifically for people with limited earnings.

 

 

The new fact sheet  is called Supplemental Security Income and Other Benefits. Myers indicates it covers how you and your family members may qualify for benefits including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security retirement benefits, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

 

 

Myers points out there is also an online benefits screening tool to help you determine which of the benefit programs you may qualify for. It is called the Benefits Eligibility Screening Tool or B.E.S.T for short, and it is available at: https://ssabest.benefits.gov.    

 

 

You can view samples of all of the fact sheets including this new one at www.ssa.gov/myaccount/statement.html.
