“We
haven’t been receiving our Social Security statements since we moved several
years ago. We haven’t retired yet, but we would like to get our statements.
Social Security told us we needed go online and fill out a form. Can you help
me?” The Newton Falls Public Library appreciates the desire for people to stay
informed about their future retirements.
Social
Security has an online page dedicated to changes of address.
From there it is simply a matter of following the steps to fill out the
information. After our patron completed her information, the site would not
accept it. Phoning their 800 number, we learned that this is only for
individuals already receiving Social Security benefits. They are informed of
any address changes by the Internal Revenue Service from information given on
tax returns, and IRS address change forms needed to be filled out by our patron
and her husband.
Going
to www.irs.gov, and searching for “address
change form” gave us the information that our patron needed form #8822. The library
staff was able to print copies for our patron and her husband, and hopefully
they will soon be receiving the information that they need.
