As with many questionable emails, the best approach is to NOT click anything in the email but to go to your account the way you've always gone to your account and see what it says there.
For example:
- Don't click the PayPal link in the email, go directly to PayPal (I learned that, as I suspected, I had not paid for GeekSquad service)
- Don't click on the link to sign into your bank account, go to your normal bank account login and see if there is a notification waiting for you (heck, I don't even have a Wells Fargo account to log into)
SSA may truly want you to transition your login from their old authentication system to either login.gov or id.me but wait to see a notification on your ssa.gov login screen, don't trust the link in an email.

Why do people insist on making claims without looking them up first, do they really think no one will check? Proof by emphatic assertion rarely works.
Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
