Filing for SS benefits would have begun when she either reached 62 or 65 yrs. of age - or became eligible younger, perhaps due to disability. The form(s) submitted for SS pensions requires more info than the initial member form. You should be able to determine from the form you received the reason the paper was being filed. juanita > Hello All, I posted a few weeks ago about getting my > great-grandmother's social security application.
