SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Article by Wade Armstrong, Social Security District Manager, Dothan
Even if you decide to wait until after you’re age 65 to apply
for retirement benefits, most people should start getting
Medicare coverage at age 65. If you’d like to begin your
Medicare coverage, you should apply within four months of
reaching age 65.
It’s important to note that people who already receive
Social Security retirement or disability benefits do not need
to apply; they will be automatically enrolled in Medicare.
It’s fast and easy to apply online for Medicare. Why apply
online? Because it’s fast, easy, and convenient. You don’t
need an appointment and you can avoid waiting in traffic
or in line.
If you’re within four months of turning age 65 or older,
what are you waiting for? As Patty Duke and her television
family will tell you, it takes less than 10 minutes! Visit www.
socialsecurity.gov and select the “Retirement/Medicare” link
in the middle of the page.
SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS
APPLICATION
Social Security offers an online retirement application that
you can complete in as little as 15 minutes. It’s so easy. Better
yet, you can apply from the comfort of your home or office
at a time most convenient for you. There’s no need to drive
to a local Social Security office or wait for an appointment
with a Social Security representative.
In most cases, once your application is submitted
electronically, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and
usually no documentation is required. Social Security will
process your application and contact you if any further
information is needed.
Visit www.socialsecurity.gov to find out more about filing
online and mySSA.
