Sorry the link did not work for you I tried it and it worked for me. If anyone else has a problem with it let me know so that I can have tech support look into it please. Here is a link to the Social Security Admin. site on the subject. Hope this helps.

Cynthia, this is great news. What do I need to do? Does it automatically cover any apps already in process, or do I need to call the office where we filed to ask for this consideration? Your link did not work.

Thanks for the info!
