can do:
You may not always be at your own computer when
you request a Social Security Statement. Therefore,
it's important to exit your browser when you're finished

We recommend you use the built-in security features

browsers. For more information consult the Help files
of your browser software.
Unless you have turned JavaScript off in your browser, you

move to another page, or your time will run out and your
work on that page will be lost.

Internet, you may download the Social Security Statement
request form (SSA-7004) and mail it to the address on the
