I want to know how to create an account
Do you want to create a my Social Security account?
no, just know how to help someone
what would someone need to create an account?
You will be asked to verify your identity by providing personal information about yourself and answering questions that only you are likely to know . You must create a username and password that will be used to access your online account
================
and if this person has had some problems with fraud alerts and such will that be a problem?
you can still open a my Social Security account by temporarily having it lifted. Contact our Identity Services Provider and request that they temporarily lift your security freeze or fraud alert. Then you will be able to create a my Social Security account online
and the fraud alert will go away ?
the Identity Services Provider may automatically reinstate it after your temporary lift expires
================
and someone can use their account when they help them?
No one can create or use an account on your behalf , even with written permission .For your protection you are the only one who can create your personal my Social Security account for your own exclusive use . Social Security is dedicated to protecting the information and resources entrusted to us , including your personal information and investment .
================
and if we can't get the alert lifted then we won't be able to create an account?
You can still visit your local Social Security office to open an account in person .
