Social Security Enrollment

By Terry Savage on September 05, 2026 | Social Security

Hello.
I just this week enrolled in SSA Benefits. I have received various emails regarding this. One mentioned that I may be contacted at odd times of the day for additional information and/or questions. By phone or email. That seems odd. I have received nothing yet. Should I be concerned if I am contacted at odd hours. i.e. evening, non business hours?

Are you SURE you enrolled in Social Security at www.SSA.gov? Or by calling them at 800-772-1213. You’d need to create a secure log-in to access your account and make sure it is set up correctly for direct deposit to your bank.

Use this link and no other to create your account and check your benefits.
