My wife turns 65 in Oct. and we want to apply for SS & Medicare on line. Has any one applied on line and did you have good results ?
Thanks in advance. Jay

The DW did this year and it went flawlessly. It is a bit time consuming, but the instructions are very clear and concise. I would not hesitate to do it online, after watching her complete hers.

I applied for my SS on line back in November. I received a phone call a couple of weeks later and then a conformation letter with all the info spelled out im January. I did not need to do Medicare so can't comment on that part. Just waiting on my first check to come next month.

I did SS at 62 in person. Two hour wait to see an agent and maybe 10 minutes to get it all set up. The SS office handles a lot more than retirement, and those cases are often lengthy. When it came time for Medicare, I received a nice booklet from SS clearly showing all my options. Signed up on line and was done before I finished my first cup of coffee, including a phone call back to verify my choices. Those people are good.


Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.
