It will walk you through it. If you're not crazy about doing it on-line, do you live in or near a city with a social security office?

But the on-line thing is designed to be very user friendly.

Or do you mean Medicare? If so, that I already know is incredibly easy to do. Again, www.ssa.org and you'll have no trouble.
