Would you like to know how to apply for retirement benefits?
Actually, yeah. Tell me more about it, please.
Well, Social Security offers an online retirement application that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes. It's very easy.
Would you prefer to complete your application in a language other than English?
No, English would be fine.
So, like, how do I use the online application?
Just select the " Apply for Retirement Benefits " button above, then you will be asked to create or sign in to your my Social Security account and then you go through a series of screens that will ask you questions about yourself, your family and your work.
If I... ?
If you get stuck on a question, you can skip it and go back later.
What about a receipt? I need one. Will I be able to get a receipt?
