I applied for Social Security about a week ago. Bit the bullet and filled out that application. Some of the questions I did find confusing and wanted to make sure what I put down was the truth so there were no hold ups.
They do have little info buttons near each question that let you read a little more so you can give a good answer. That helps.
You can also check your status by logging back in.
I just did that and it says it's in like step two for checking my application. It also said it could take 2 to 4 weeks for processing.
It's only been a week but when someone/thing tells me there's a way to check, I mean, how could I resist logging back in?
All in all the process was pretty easy, but when you're ready to apply find a quiet space and take your time filling out the application.
Are you ready to collect? How did you make that decision?
