3931 FILING A CLAIM FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

摘要

The person who wants to get Social Security benefits must contact the Social Security authorities to file an application, since benefits are not paid automatically. Filing should not be delayed since back payments may be limited or even prohibited, especially for those age 62-64. The local office of the Social Security Administration should be contacted to find out what papers are necessary for filing a claim. Deaf and hearing impaired individuals may apply for Social Security benefits by calling a national, toll-free, TTY/TDD number, 1-800-325-0778.
