Does anyone know what this is all about? It looks legit, but scammers are getting better every day at looking legit.


I have not followed through on it yet because I have heard nothing about expecting whatever this "transition" is.
Is this for real? If so, does anybody know why?

You have to have a Login.gov to get to your SSA. There is no charge for this. It is to eliminate all the different log ins for .gov sites. When you login to your account at SSA it should take you to the site to create a login.gov account. I personally wouldn't trust anything in an email regarding this ESPECIALLY if is asking for money to do this.
