If someone calls and tells you they are from Social Security to verify information
from the Extra Help application that was sent to their office |
It COULD BE REAL, especially if you filled out the Extra Help application from Social
Security. They already know your basic information, such as social security number,
or the address where you receive your check. Social Security WILL NOT ask for these.
They have them. |
If for any reason you are uncomfortable or unsure if they are with Social Security
offices, you can tell them you will call your local offices to verify the information
and hang up. Call 1-800-772-1213 and tell them you got a call to verify information
on the Extra Help form. They will make sure the form is correct and you know to
whom you are talking. |

If ANYONE calls and wants YOUR Medicare Number, or your Social
Security Number, your Check Routing Number, or ANY
Personal Information |

NEVER give out your Medicare Number, your Social Security Number,
your Check Routing Number, or ANY other Personal Information. |
