If you’re looking to sign up for Social Security, why not do so online?
To apply for Social Security benefits online, you can visit the Social Security Administration (SSA) website and complete the following steps:
- Create a My Social Security account on the SSA website if you don’t have one already. You will need to provide your Social Security number, date of birth, and email address, to create an account.
- Once you have a My Social Security account, log in and click on “Apply for Benefits.”
- Follow the prompts to complete the online application for your desired type of benefits.
- After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation message from the SSA.
- The SSA will review your application and contact you if they need more information or documentation.
You can apply for retirement, spousal, disability, or medical benefits online, and it’s often much easier than doing so in person. For more helpful information like this, follow NORA on Facebook and Twitter.
