The Social Security Administration, envisaging the near future prospect of 10,000 Baby Boomers applying for benefits everyday, has put together a new online service that will allow people to get their benefits without ever travelling to a Social Security Field Office.
People can apply for retirement of disability benefits on line requiring only 15 minutes or less.
Those wanting to use the new programme can go to www.socialsecurity.gov and click on
"Applying Online for Retirement Benefits"
There are still many who are not computer literate and so still we can go to the Office and submit our application to a real person.
