The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced improvements to its Spanish-language Web site, www.SeguroSocial.gov, with expanded online services available in Spanish. The Web site now includes the ability to apply online for retirement benefits and for Medicare. Those who already receive Medicare also can apply for “Extra Help” for the Medicare prescription drug program. An individual cannot yet file an online application in Spanish for disability benefits but SSA is exploring that avenue and other services for the Spanish-speaking population.
