If you are disabled and unable to work, you may wonder where to file Social Security Disability. There are a few different places you can go to file Social Security Disability applications.
The first place, and perhaps the most convenient, is to file the application online. To file online, you want to make sure you are on the Social Security Administration’s website and that the connection is secure. A link that currently takes you directly to the application page is here.
You can also file a Social Security Disability application over the phone with the Social Security Administration. The national toll-free number is (800) 772-1213.
Lastly, you can file an application with your local Social Security office. If you are unsure where your local office is, you can find it here.
When you apply for Social Security disability benefits, you will need to have the information about your conditions, as well as your treating doctors. Having this information handy while you are completing the application is helpful.
You should always file your application for disability benefits as soon as you know you will be unable to work for at least one year. If you have questions, or need assistance with the application process, contact a local attorney today.
