Maybe it’s a matter of timing. This has been going on for quite awhile…I changed mine last summer, after receiving the notification that you received. I took all the steps everyone advised…..signed on the “old way” and made changes from there.
There is a slow roll out on this change….dont know why.
I think you're correct. Don't know what its method is but SSA is sending this, apparently, to all SS recipients. I got mine two months ago and wife got hers last week. Thought it might have something to do with DOGE but others here state they received their notice well before DOGE was ever implemented so; probably not.

I DID click the link after checking the email address it came from. I then also checked the address of the site I was directed to. It was SSA.gov which is the correct address so I proceeded.

Admittedly, I'm not as astute as I used to be but I found the transition process to be a PITA. Finally got the transition completed. Not sure I had the option before but now I have to complete a two-part authentication process in order to log in.
