Done Deal

I was amazed at how easy it was to apply for Social Security Benefits! The website says to start about three months before you are eligible. It took me all of three days!

I will receive my benefits for the same month in which I applied (September) and get a check every month after that.

I did it all on the Internet and then, when asked, chose my local SS Office to process the application. My thinking was that I could drive to the office and not wait for the mail. If there were any questions, I could answer them on the spot and save bunches of time. I was right!

To apply, check out the SS website at: http://www.ssa.gov/retirement.html
