I have kept every one ever sent to me. My very first one sent was in 2004. I was on SSI from 1999 to 2004, so I believe they don't send them out if someone is on disability already. While my case has gone on since 2008 I didn't receive any. When I called to ask for one, I was told I couldn't get one because I had a pending case.

After the ALJ judge and the appeals board denied me they immediately sent me out my most recent one. I never received any of these many years ago when my disability began to show me about any last date insured, because they were not sending them out then. I see they don't actually put the last date insured on the ones I do have, but they do show I haven't earned enough credits to qualify for disability. This is way too late regarding my case anyway, because like I said my first one sent out wasn't until 2004. This is just more proof this was not DISCLOSED to me unless they can PROVE they were sending them out. I've tried googling this to see when they first started sending them out, but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know? The appeals board has now decided to grant me permission to send in more evidence regarding my disabilities, so I am currently working on doing that.

This was when I was on SSI, plus it's past my insured date, so I will include this with my other evidence I'm sending out to Social Security. This is more proof there's no way it was ever DISCLOSED to me regarding my last insured date. The internet wasn't even around yet when my last insured date was either, or to use to educate myself on filing claims like it is nowadays. People today are very fortunate to have the tools I did not have. Now I read they are going to stop sending out statements to save money & people can obtain them online. Has anyone gotten theirs online?
