Also make sure you register on the social security administration website and IRS…or someone else will do it for you.

Also, note on the SSA website, they will require you to login with 2FA email and will send you a slow ass code that takes 2-10i items to arrive. The rub is, if you copy the code with any standard method and paste it into their box, it copies an extra space character and pastes it, invisibly into the 2FA code box, which then fails. Took me a few weeks to work this out…they have a link to login support from the same page…wonder why they get issues?!? You have to type it in manually and only if you know this issue exists.

I opened a ticket with their IT for the good of the world…fuck the contractor who made that webpage.
