Your Social Security Number and Card: Checking Your Records

Each year your employer sends a copy of your W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) to the Social Security Administration. The name and Social Security number on the W-2 are compared with the information in the Social Security Administration's files. The earnings shown on your W-2 are added to your Social Security record.

It is critical that your name and Social Security number on your Social Security card agree with your employer's payroll records and W-2 so that the Social Security Administration can credit your earnings to your record. It is up to you to make sure that both Social Security's records and your employer's records are correct. If your Social Security card is incorrect, contact any Social Security office to make changes. Check your W-2 form to make sure your employer's record is correct and, if it is not, give your employer the accurate information.

If you are a worker age 25 and older and not receiving benefits, you receive a Social Security Statement every year that summarizes your earnings. Review this statement to make sure that all of your earnings are included. If your statement does not include all of your earnings, let your employer and your Social Security Administration office know about any incorrect information.
