The future is coming on fast.
Starting this summer, the SSA will offer a digital version of the Social Security card through its My Social
Security website. This option is intended to reduce the inconvenience of lost or stolen physical cards and
will allow users to retrieve their Social Security number online for both SSA-related and non-SSA uses.
The SSA’s newest push for digital efficiency is potentially something that could reshape the SSA for the
better through technology.
