Social Security "statement" or a scam? [View all]
Got this in my email and hovering over the sender does not reveal anything strange, like coming from gmail.
But this is strange. Some years ago I signed for the SS online but last fall decided not to use it anymore. Took me a while to talk to a live person to request that the notification of the benefits be mailed to me. This is really the only info that I was seeking.

Your New Social Security Statement is now available
To:
Dear:
Your Social Security Statement is streamlined and easier to read than ever before. That is because we have redesigned the Statement to provide you the most useful information up front and at a glance.
We encourage you to check your Statement at least once a year to review:
- Your earnings record (to make sure its accurate and notify us if you see any errors);
- Your personalized monthly retirement benefit estimates (which now display how much you can expect to receive depending on when you decide to start your benefits between ages 62 and 70);
- Other useful information that will explain your benefits and help you prepare for your financial future; and
- New fact sheets that provide additional information based on your specific age group and earnings situation.
You can access your new Statement by signing into your account at socialsecurity.gov/reviewyourstatement.
Now that you can access your Statement instantly and anytime online, we will not automatically send one by mail.
We hope you find your new Statement useful and informative.

Can they arbitrarily determine not to send me anything by mail?
Did anyone else get something similar?
