Details
Federal Social Security Administration handling SSN issuance, name changes on SSN records, SSI and SSDI disability applications, retirement benefits, and Medicare enrollment. Federal gender marker updates on SSA records currently blocked as of 2025–2026 — name changes still process normally. SSA name flows to IRS, employer payroll, and every benefit program, so this is the second-most-important update after DMV after a court name change.
Eligibility
All US residents and citizens.
