**Browser Support**
> 
The recommended encryption level for securely and safely transmitting personal data is 128bit encryption. Many popular browsers offer 128-bit SSL versions. We recommend that you use either Mozilla Firefox , Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Apple Safari. It is important to understand that these browsers come in both 40-bit (older versions) and 128-bit versions (more recent versions), so be sure your version offers the higher level.

**Note:** If you have enabled a pop-up blocker or are using software that automatically disables pop-up browser windows, you should disable this feature for most effective use of the online application.

Some users of older Internet browser versions, and even new versions of other browsers, may experience difficulties in completing and submitting their online application. We will work diligently to assist any users who experience such problems, however, we also recommend using recent versions of Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox (version 11 or higher), Google Chrome (version 36 or higher), or Safari (version 5 or higher) whenever possible.
