What is the application process for SSI and SSDI?
To apply for SSDI for an adult age 18 or above, visit the Social Security Administration’s website page, “Apply for Disability Benefits” and follow the step by step directions. Some reports and applications may be completed online. Call Social Security at the toll-free number listed in the above publication if you need copies of forms, publications or other assistance. The “SSI Application Process” cannot be completed on-line, but may be initiated by calling the toll-free number 1-800-772-1213 or visiting the local Social Security office. To apply for SSI for a child, go to “Apply for Disability Benefits-Child (Under Age 18)” and follow the steps.
