Log into your SSA account now, get your current statement, and save it somewhere secure. It probably won’t make any difference since this administration will almost certainly completely gut the SS program. But at least this way on the slim chance that there is some sort of recompense down the road, you’ll have an official document available showing you what you were supposed to get at retirement.
I’m a federal employee. I’ve also had to download my most recent earnings & leave statements (something I usually ignore) and take a snapshot of my current leave totals…just in case DOGE fucks it all up.
Add to this a record of any student loans you have or have ever had. You can log in to studentaid.gov and export a full record of your previous loans, your payments and balance over time, and any forgiveness you’ve received.
As Musk and his goons fucks with the Department of Education, it’s unlikely that your student loan balance will go “poof.” But records of your payments or any forgiveness you received just might.
And really, individuals should now archive local records of any interactions they’ve had with the federal government. The federal government can no longer be considered a reliable steward of records.
