The folks at the Motley Fool have put together a nice list of things you can do online regarding Social Security. It is well worth a read.

You can access many of these services online. They include:
1. Request a replacement Social Security card
2. Change your address and/or phone number
3. Request and print a benefit verification letter
4. Review your Social Security statement
5. Check your earnings history
9. Start or alter the direct deposit of your benefit
11. Check the status of an application or appeal
