How can I apply for Social Security disability or SSI benefits?
You can call SSA’s 800 number at 1-800-772-1213 and schedule an appointment to file applications for benefits. Although you can apply over the internet for some benefits and can sometimes make phone appointments, the best way is usually to call the 800 number and set a time for an in person application at a local SSA office. Or you can call our office at (215) 464-7200 and we can help you through the process.
