To view your Social Security statement online, you need to create an online account. To create that account, you have to be at least 18. You'll have to answer questions to verify you are who you say you are. The Social Security website uses dual-factor authentication for further confirmation of identity, sending a security code to your phone. Make sure you're using a strong password since your Social Security information is some of the most vital to protect from hacking or identity theft.
