Problems with Social Security Website
Right now cannot get into benefits or login portion and getting "This Service Not Available." I know this sort of thing often happens during maintenance. Hoping this is not any malicious activity or redirection. Is anyone else seeing this?

Good news.
After applying, we received an email from Benefits.Application@ssa.gov. Had some fear this could be phishing.

It's always best to not click on links in any email if you aren't sure if it is legitimate.SpideyIndexer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:46 pm Good news.

I'd bookmark the ssa.gov site.

Email had no links. Basically said stay tuned, possible letter or phone call in the future. If it were phishing, it would be a very sophisticated phisherman.
Is there a 24 hr hotline phone number for My Social Security tech support? I couldn't find one so probably not.
Thanks very much for the responses.

Re: Problems with Social Security Website
Now I am seeing a message that regular service hours for logging into My Social Security in Eastern Time are these:
Monday-Friday 5am - 1am (I assume 1am would be the following day in Eastern time zone)
Saturday 5am - 11pm
Sunday 8am - 11:30pm
This may be useful to night owls out there.
Also for phone assistance hours are 8am - 7pm Eastern Time at 800-772-1213

Re: Problems with Social Security Website
I have seen that message several times in the last few weeks. What I have done is immediately try to sign back in a second time, and that time it has always worked.SpideyIndexer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:32 pm Right now cannot get into benefits or login portion and getting "This Service Not Available."
