The Social Security Administration (SSA) is set to provide beneficiaries with digital access to their Social Security Numbers (SSN), offering a “secure and accessible” alternative to physical SSN cards, the agency said in an April 25 statement.

“The digital SSN feature will allow account holders to conveniently display their SSN, when needed, for reasons other than handling Social Security matters,” the agency said. Beneficiaries can access the digital SSN via mobile devices.
