Hello there, greetings. I've been told that i must create an account on this page My Social Security, in order to manage some benefits, Is that mandatory?
Are you experiencing issues with account creation or you simply, don't want to create one  online?
Yes i'm having problems to create an account.
If you're having problems, you may still create an account  in person by visiting your local Social Security office.
Um, so you are telling me that i'll have to get into that online thing anyway, huh. Ok then, Is there any way to improve that account's security? IT changes anything inside?
You don't have to worry too much. You can always disable extra security whenever you want. The only change would be an extra security code provided by us for you to log in. All the other details remain the same.
OK, i suppose that's good to know that. To confirm, if i'm unable to create an account on my own, i go to the social security office,right?
That's correct. That what you should do.
I heard about something called phishing, could you tell me more about it.
For that, you can go to OnGuard Online section.
Ok, i'll check it out later. say if i see any suspicious link, how do i verify that?
That's simple. Just hover over the link with your mouse until a text appears with the web address and be sure it ends in .gov/..For example: https://www,ssa.gov/myaccount/
I need to know what I can do to pay for course materials if I don't have any money.
Of course. Would you like to know when schools that participate in federal student aid programs must provide a way for you to obtain your books and supplies by the seventh day of the term?
Then I'm afraid that schools which participate in federal student aid programs do NOT need to provide a way for you to obtain your books and supplies.
What if my school provides me financial aid?
Sometimes money is left over after your aid is applied to your tuition, fees, and other school charges. This remaining amount is called a credit balance.
Well, that doesn't help me solve my issue. Is there any way to get course materials for less money?
Your options for course material formats will vary by school, instructor, and course, so learning what your options are and knowing about any cost-reduction initiatives your school may have can result in significant savings.
But what if I need new textbooks?
Even then you may be able to save money by shopping around.
