WASHINGTON — The Social Security Administration, envisioning the near-future prospect of 10,000 baby boomers applying for benefits every day, has put together a new online service that will allow people to get their benefits without ever traveling to a Social Security field office.

The agency, in introducing the program Tuesday, said most people will be able to apply for their retirement or disability benefits in 15 minutes or less.

Its good enough. All Hawaii COLB’s state that “this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in all court proceedings.”

That's a relief.

Say, if you show up at a Hawaiian court hearing WITHOUT your COLB, how do you prove that you were born?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Watch it! As the "brave new world" begins, such seditious comments could get you euthanized.

If the SS Admin has seen your birth certificate at any time, it is documented and available for retreival later.

So, maybe you had presented a BC in the past when you received a SS card, or for some other SS business.

If so, then you would not need to show it another time.

Perhaps some criminal alien has stolen my account. Wouldn't be surprised.

Happens all the time. If Americans knew how much fraud was being generated by this government sponsored, violent illegal invasion of millions, all hell would break loose and those in D.C. would start commuting in armored cars.

I never had my birth certificate until a few months ago when I was getting ready to apply.
