Applying for Social Security benefits is not a difficult process. It can be done from the comfort of your home, office, or even a coffee shop or anywhere else that has Internet service. It can take as little as 15 minutes, and there is no need to make a live appointment with a Social Security representative.
In most cases, once you fill out the online application for Social Security benefits, you will be done. There should be no forms to sign, and there should be no extra documents needed (in most cases). The SSA (Social Security Administration) will process your application and if anymore information is needed you will be contacted.
