SSI

[oosik]

I started getting SS at 62. It was so very easy - it was almost a joke. They made a copy of my birth certificate - filled out a one page form - done.

One could only hope other government operations would go so smoothly.

i took mine this year, and only issue i had was needing to get a replacement SS card because my wife laminated my old one, and they would not accept that. other than that, was easy. one thing is nice is i dont need SS to survive. i feel sorry for some friends of mine that never saved up anything...always had to have a new toy.

I did it all on the web. No office visits, no presenting documents or proof of anything. Filled out a web form, got approved in minutes. ChaChings started a couple of months later.

My ssi card lamination started because of the star card. I was taking care of that at same time. Had to get a new card for star card, so applied fir ss at same time.
