Security Features

• You may not always be at your own computer when you apply for benefits. Therefore, it’s important to exit your browser when you’re finished so that others cannot see the information that you have entered.

• We recommend that you use the built-in security features that Web browsers provide. Choosing certain security settings and options will help protect the privacy of your personal information. Security settings on your computer vary depending on the type of browser you are using (Microsoft IE, Netscape, etc.) and the particular version of the browser (5.2, 6.0, 7.0, 7.2, etc.).  For more information, consult the Help files of your browser software

How long can you work on each page?

• For security reasons, there are time limits on each page. You will receive a warning after 25 minutes but you can extend your time on that page. After the third warning on a page, you must move to another page or your time will run out and all your work on that page will be lost.

• If you have turned JavaScript off in your browser, you will not receive these warnings and, after 30 minutes on a page, you must go to another page or your application session will end, and your work on the last page will be lost.
