In recent years, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has made online services available for the convenience of individuals who wish to file social security online from the comfort of home or office. You may file for your retirement benefits, disability benefits, survivors benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits via the Internet by visiting the Social Security Administration's website at www.ssa.gov. Once you have completed the online portion of your benefits application, you can request a password that makes it easy to revisit the website to perform specific tasks, such as change of address and phone number, applying for a replacement Medicare card, requesting a proof of income letter, changing your direct deposit information, and viewing your Social Security Administration records.
