If you are planning to perform any management of the “my Social Security” platform during the next few hours and you find the website under maintenance, do not panic, the administration has announced its maintenance period.
In the Twitter account of the Social Security Administration, we can read the notice about the maintenance period that the web will undergo and therefore, millions of Americans will not be able to carry out their formalities.
This maintenance period will start tomorrow, November 12, from 1 am to 10 am.
my Social Security will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance on Saturday, November 12, 2022, from 1:00AM (ET) through 10:00AM (ET).
