The Social Security Administration has selected the Kent Senior Activity Center to demonstrate a new program introducing My Social Security from 4 to 5 p.m. March 6.
My Social Security, a personal online account, is a valuable source of information beginning during one’s working years and continuing when Social Security benefits are received.
The exclusive program offers the public an opportunity to sign up for a 15-minute tutorial session conducted in the Kent Senior Activity Center’s computer lab by Kirk Larson, Social Security Administration Western Washington Public Affairs Specialist.
My Social Security accounts can be used to:
• Get your benefit verification letter
• Obtain your benefit estimate
• Check your payment information and earnings record
• Change your address, your phone number; and direct deposit information.
Space is limited and offered by appointment only on a first come first served basis.
The Kent Senior Activity Center is at 600 E. Smith St.
Previously it was announced an SSA educational briefing as part of the “Elvis at The Place” event, which begins at 5 pm. Due to increased interest, organizers have expanded this to include workshops for the public from 4 to 5 p.m. There is no charge to attend SSA training sessions; however, space is limited and advanced reservations are required.
Please call 253-856-5164 for more information or reservations.
