Q & A
Is it true 10,000 people a day are retiring? What’s the easiest way to avoid the crowds?
Answer: Yes. As the baby boomers reach their retirement years, Social Security is handling about 10,000 claims each day. You can avoid the crowds by filing online. You can complete your retirement application in as little as 15 minutes. It’s safe, convenient and secure. You can apply from the comfort of your home at a time that is 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. 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. Just go to www.socialsecurity.gov.
