Press Release Body = During the celebration of Memorial Day, the Social Security
Administration expressed its tribute to the valiant heroes of America’s military
service members and mourned the tragic losses caused by the war. To manifest their
deep salutation, the Social Security Commissioner, Michael J. Astrue made an
announcement directed to the active military duty personnel and their families. The
announcement’s focal point is Social Security’s imposition of procedures that will
accelerate the processing of applications for survivor benefits and disability
claims by the military service members.

Los Angeles, California, June 6, 2007 – Astrue wanted to let the military personnel
on active duty and their families to be aware of the Social Security’s scheme for
immediate processing of disability claims and survivor’s benefits. This will enable
active military service members to file claims for injuries and/or disabilities,
quickly, without regards of the location where the injuries were incurred.

In the announcement, Astrue indicated that he wanted to guarantee the brave members
of America’s Armed Forces, whether women or men, along with their families that they
do not have to wait for the benefits they need and deserve.

This special attention being given to military personnel is but one way wherein the
Social Security can manifest its appreciation of all the members of the Armed
Forces’ selfless dedication to the country. The appreciation and high regard is also
extended to military personnel’s families.

The quick and direct process of application for benefits already takes effect and
applicable for military members who have been disabled during the line of duty
without regard of the place where it took place, on October 1, 2001 or after this
date.

Astrue assures more information and answers for inquiries for those who have not
caught up with their new scheme, by calling up the Social Security’s toll free
number. Those who are interested in reading information can also come up to the
SSA’s local office near their area or log in to www.socialsecurity.gov
