Is there any reason I'm unable to access my SS acct?

When I try, I get this:

Online Service Not Available
We're sorry, but the online service you requested isn't available right now. We apologize for the inconvenience.

1. Same here:

I get the normal ssa.gov page -> login ->

3. Great

[Mister Ed]

2. I believe the site is only available on weekdays?

That's been my experience. You'll probably be able to log on come Monday.

[ailsagirl]

4. You could be right but it doesn't indicate that on its website n/t

I don't ever recall being unable to sign in. Considering what we're up against, this makes me uneasy.

5. It's down overnight until 8am on Saturdays. The site should be operational right now.

Login.gov button should come up when you click the login button on ssa.gov.

8. The login button does display but when I select it, I get the same message

I smell a rat

16. What is this new login.gov thing?

6. Yes............

shithole musk republicans shut it down just because they can.

Evil are they.

7. Why so many people suddenly think they

need to check their account escapes me. But millions more requests than usual? That would probably bring down most computer systems.

9. Oh, we all thought we had accounts! Ha, ha, ha! Silly us. PROVE YOUR CITIZENSHIP IN PERSON (and on your knees).

When is Trump going to denaturalize folks so we can send Musk back to South Africa? Would be the one good thing that could come out of that.

10. Not to worry

I was told that by giving Krasnov what he wanted, the CR, that our Social Security will be safe.

11. It's up!

[ailsagirl]

12. Thanks!!

13. I was able to login at 9:30 Central time, using my login-gov account and then going to SSA....phew

[ailsagirl]

15. ...

[CoopersDad]

14. It works for me, I use login.gov

I haven't had any issues and hope it stays that way.

https://www.ssa.gov/

Then: https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL/SiView.action

Then: https://secure.login.gov/

And then the text a six digit code and you're in.

IMO, our congresscritters aren't being nearly vocal enough about this bullshit.

17. I just asked the knowledgable Mr. Donovan, if he understands what this new login.gov thing is.

Anyone know what;s going on?

There is some strange stuff going on.

I got an email today that I thought was odd. (It says it is from [e-mail].) It supposedly is providing a link to my SS statement. I am not clicking on the hyperlink.

So I logged in the way I set up when I first went on SS. And I was able to log in, but - it then said I had to create either a login.gov or ID.me acct. I exited, until I can find out more about this.

I looked up what login.gov is. I am not pleased about the possibility it might also ask me for a photo ID. That does not seem right. I am calling my Senator on Monday to find out more.

I saw someone on DU last night say something about getting a strange text, that was representing itself as being from SS.

20. ssa.gov Website Hours of Operation:

There was a discussion upthread about hours the website is functional so I just did a screen grab.

21. FWIW, I was able to log in and out this morning.
