" "July 4th brings family and friends together, as well as neighbors, to celebrate that we’re all part of a community. Everyone pitches in, combining their resources — great food, music, and displays — to lift our spirits.

Social Security has been helping people maintain their independence for over 80 years. In that time, we’ve made it even easier for you to access the programs and benefits you might need. Today, applying online is a fast way to get those crucial benefits.

Here are some of the benefits you can apply for:

  • Retirement or Spouse’s Benefits – You must be at least 61 years and 9 months old and want your benefits to start no more than four months in the future. Apply online.
  • Disability – You can apply online for disability benefits. Apply for Disability.
  • Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Costs – Some people need assistance with the cost of medications. Apply for Extra Help on our website.
  • Medicare – Medicare is a national health insurance program administered by the U.S. federal government that began in 1966. You should apply before your 65th.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – SSI is a federal income program funded by general tax revenues designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people who have little or no income. You may be able to apply online if you meet certain requirements. See if you can apply online for SSI.

Social Security provides benefits for millions of people, including retirees, wounded warriors,  children, and people with disabilities who cannot work. Find the help you or your family needs on our website.

We need you to let loved ones know about the ways we may provide benefits. By sharing our resources with friends and family, you can help create independence for them.

    What is oncoplasty?
    Oncoplasty in definition includes cosmetic surgery and cancer surgery. In fact, oncoplasty is performed simultaneously with three cosmetic surgeries, cancer surgery and breast reconstruction surgery.

    In this operation, the necessary cosmetic surgery interventions are performed by the breast surgeon during cancer surgery and it is used in people who have large, sagging or asymmetrical breasts in addition to breast cancer. If the breasts are large, mammoplasty is performed during the cancer operation and the breasts become smaller. If the patient has sagging breasts, mastopexy or breast lift at the same time as the cancer surgery is suitable for him.
