If you are receiving Social Security benefits, the Social Security Administration should mail you Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, each January. If you did not receive your SSA-1099 by early February, or you’ve misplaced it, there are a couple of ways you can go about getting a new copy.

Online

To request a copy of your SSA-1099 online, you’ll first need to set up a my Social Security account. From there, select the link that says “Replace Your Tax Form SSA-1099/SSA-1042S” from the menu. Choose the year you want from the dropdown. You’ll be able to choose any year from the past six, with the most recent year available starting Feb. 1.

By phone

If you do not have internet access or prefer not to request a copy of your SSA-1099 online, you also have the option to do so by phone. Simply call 1-800-772-1213. This is the Social Security Administration’s automated line, and it’s available all day, every day. Say “1099,” when you hear the prompt, “How can I help you today?”.
