I misplaced the social security form SSA1099 SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT
STATEMENTS for myself and for my wife, for this year as well as for
last year. Does anybady know how to obtain replacements? I tried to
call them but my hearing loss prevents me from understanding what they
are saying. Can this be done by email?

Hi, vaac-ga! 

 You can order a replacement form SSA1099 SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT
STATEMENTS for this year entirely online. For prior years, you will
need to contact the SSA by mail if you cannot use the phone.


 Go to the following link and it will be self-explanatory!

 
 "Request an SSA-1099/1042S for Tax Information." 
 https://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps6z/i1099/main.html

On the same link as above, see the section:

What You Should Know:

"If you need a replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S for an earlier tax
year, contact us."


Here is the page with the mailing address
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/reach.htm

 Please include your Social Security number or claim number whenever
you write to us.

 If you still need additional help, you may write to the Office of
Public Inquiries:

 I hope this helps!

lost form how to order SSA 1099 SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT STATEMENTS

Thanks

This looks to me like an excellent and informative answer. I don't
understand the low rating.

It is not the answer which is poor, the answer is good. What is poor
is the lack of efficiency with wich social security services the
inquiring public. Such service is suitable for a third rate country
run by savages, not for the United States.

So you are penalizing a Google Answers Researcher because you are
dissatisfied with the Social Security Administration? Was it your
expectation that the Researcher would be able to change the system in
your behalf?

Wow, punishing the Google researcher for something over which she has
no control. That's a new one one me.  :-(   Two stars is really
unjustified.

I certainly hope Social Security doesn't base it's assistance on your
treatment of the people who assisted you in your time of need. A two
star rating on a two dollar question which was perfectly answered is
insulting to the researcher who most likely wound up working for 20
cents an hour to help you.

Best of luck with Social Security.

It happened to me too! --After being invited to post my comment as an answer:

What I find interesting is the fact that vaac-ga LOST his Social
Security Benefit Statements, had a difficult time hearing SS on the
phone, and chose to ask how to get them here in text, received an
excellent ACCURATE answer in 1 hour and 9 minutes as to how vaac-ga
could get the replacements WITHOUT USING THE PHONE.

That is EXCELLENT SERVICE. 

Umiat - I HEARBY RATE YOU 6 STARS!!
