> Can someone PLEASE update and modernize the SSA website to make it more user-friendly? As a member, wanting to renew my membership, there is no indication of where to go to do this online. There are two separate sites, with two separate logins, with no indication of what information is behind which login. In this day and age, it would seem obvious to have one website, with one login where members could go to find out whatever they are looking for or to take care of whatever business they are needing to. Other basic information that the general public would want to know would be available on the part without the need for a login. It seems obvious, but somehow the current setup is very convoluted and difficult to navigate.
As mentioned in other threads here as well as this one, the "modernization" is what created some of the issues.
It has been discussed here.
It has been discussed with SSA.
Some pages/databases within SSA.org carry between them, also seems like some don't.
I am glad for some recent fixes in the online contest registration, I'm doing 5 this year.
A membership renewal does not affect me, I have been a life member since late '70's.
