My husband (DG) is 88 and beginning to have severe memory & analysis problems. I recently tried for three days, using his computer, to set up an account for him on the Social Security site, that I could oversee. It accepted a password, but kept asking for a 'backup code' that supposedly was 'assigned' - so I would have a second method to verify the account. There was no way, on that web page, that I could request a 'backup code' or ask for the '10 backup codes' that were supposedly given automatically. I wanted to simply get a letter that explained his SSA eligibility, so we could apply for Senior housing. I was able to call SSA and request the letter - but it will take 14 days by mail. We need it now - and I should have been able to simply download a PDF eligibility letter to print out. In less than 5 minutes, I was able to request and download an eligibility letter for myself on MY SSA account - but could not do it through his SSA account. I need to be able to communicate with SSA (& other agencies) and receive their replies through an email "AccountForDG@centuryxxxxx.net" that I can read in my email account "CuriousQuestor@centuryxxxxx.net). How do I set this up? Thanks in advance.
