In the recently completed 2023, the Social Security Administration sent payments to more than 70 million people.
However, there are many others who are eligible but have not applied for their benefits due to ignorance. Here we will explain how to carry out the procedures via the Internet.
It is a real advantage to be able to carry out the procedures from the comfort of your own home.
This makes it easier for you to access various programs and services. You can access certain benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) website.
