MOVED FROM MISSISSIPPI TO WEST VIRGINIA, NEED TO UPDATE MY SS INFORMATION

Q) MOVED FROM MISSISSIPPI TO WEST VIRGINIA ON THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER 2022. NEED TO UPDATE MY SS INFORMATION BUT COULDN’T REMEMBER MY ANSWERS TO VALIDATE MY ACCOUNT.

A) If you are unable to remember the answers to your Social Security account security questions, you will need to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) directly to reset your account and update your information. You can do this by visiting your local SSA office or by calling their toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.

When you contact the SSA, you will need to provide them with proof of your identity and address. Some acceptable forms of identification include a U.S. passport, driver’s license, or state-issued identification card. You may also need to provide documentation that verifies your move, such as a lease agreement or utility bill in your name at your new address.

Once your identity and address have been verified, the SSA will be able to reset your account security questions and update your information with your new address. It’s important to update your Social Security information as soon as possible to ensure that you continue to receive important mail and benefits from the SSA.
