What this bill would do

This bill requires the Social Security Administration to mail paper statements to people with social security account numbers. Paper statements would be sent when people start new jobs or enter the workforce. They would also be sent based on specific age milestones: every 5 years starting at age 25, every 2 years starting at age 55, and annually starting at age 60. These statements must be mailed even if the person has an online account. People can choose to opt out of receiving these paper statements. Funding is authorized for the administration to carry out these requirements starting in fiscal year 2026.
