The Social Security Administration (SSA) is taking steps to provide a significant enhancement for my Social Security account holders, by introducing secure digital access to their Social Security number (SSN). This innovative feature is designed to provide the American public with a modernized, secure, and accessible alternative to the traditional physical SSN card.

This starts in early summer.

The digital SSN feature will allow account holders to conveniently display their SSN, when needed, for reasons other than handling Social Security matters. This enhancement will provide individuals who have forgotten their SSN or misplaced their SSN cards a simple solution allowing them to securely view their SSN online through the my Social Security portal. This will reduce their need for an in-person visit and/or having to wait to receive their SSN card through the mail. They will be able to access it via my Social Security on their mobile devices. This digital feature not only streamlines the process for those who need their SSN but also reinforces our dedication to protecting sensitive information. By providing a secure digital option, SSA aims to reduce the risk of lost or stolen cards and enhance the overall user experience.

So when one can't afford a mobile phone and phone plan, they are out of luck with the modernized SS system.

If someone couldn't afford a mobile phone and phone plan prior to the upgrade to the website they couldn't log into the website on a phone anyway.They will still have to do whatever they did in the past to access the website.

Not when one was using direct login username and password procedures which are now not allowed to be used.

If people do not have cell phones nor data to begin with, thus can't use one to log in (as you stated) then if they don't have a cell phone anyway it doesn't matter what the website is like because they can't log in on a cell phone due to failure to own one.

Now if what you meant was with a cell phone they could do that before but now they can't, that is different. But that is not what you said.

I spoke only of the mobile phone and the mobile phone plan, not the internet plan.

All those rules discussed above require a cell phone to get implemented, and may require a cell phone to use too. Not sure about the ongoing use because I have not gotten beyond the login yet.
