By Paul Barnes, Social
Security Regional
Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
Social Security has a
new online retirement ap-
plication. You can apply
for retirement benefits
from the comfort of your
home or office at www.so-

ty representative. You can
complete the new online
retirement application in
as little as 15 minutes. It's
very easy!

click the "Sign Now" but-
ton and submit the appli-
cation electronically, that's
it. There are no forms to
sign, and usirally no addi-

Award-winning actress
Patty Duke has volun-
teered her services to let
people know they can re-
tire online. Ms. Duke has
brought back the much
beloved identical cousins
Patty and Cathy Lane
from the hit 1960's sit-
com, The Patty Duke
Show, for a series of pub-


lic service announcements
that tell Americans it's
now easier than ever to
apply online. You can see
these public service an-
nouncements at www.so-
cialsecurity.gov/pattyduke.
