You can apply for Voluntary Insurance at any office of Social Security if you have been employed, have at least 150 contributions paid on your behalf and are under the age of 65. You need to apply within 26 weeks of your last day of employment to be eligible.
The Social Security Regulations include the "listings" which describe how severe a disease, condition or impairment must be for the Social Security Administration to consider it disabling. If your condition does not meet the listings, you may still be considered disabled if you have several different conditions which together make you disabled. The regulations ... consider age, education, work experience and the ability to speak English.
The budget passed by the House of Representatives this spring includes a significant increase in funding to the Social Security Administration. The pending budget request in the Senate contains an even larger increase. These funds are critical to ensure that vital services such as those provided by the Bristol field office remain available. Seniors are the fastest growing population in Bristol and the surrounding towns where 14.9 percent of the population are 65 years of age or older.

You are eligible for Social Security retirement benefits when you reach age 65. However, beinning in 2003, the age at which you can apply for retirement benefits began to increase gradually from 65 to 67. You can apply early at age 62. If you apply early, the benefits you receive will be reduced, but you will receive them over a longer time period.
The SSB was rechristened as the Social Security Administration by President Harry Truman in 1946. Prior to that, the administration became a Federal Security Agency, and it was giving out monthly benefits regularly.
