To Apply Online: You can fill out an application online by visiting. You have the option to stop and save your application, so you don’t have to worry about losing your progress when you don’t know an answer. However, it is recommended that you have the necessary information gathered.
To Apply by Phone: When you apply over the phone, you have two options. First, you can file your application over the phone with a representative. Second, you can schedule an appointment to file your claim at your local Social Security Administration office. Applicants can call the SSA toll-free at 800-772-1213. For those hard of hearing, the TYY phone number is 800-325-0778.
To Apply in Person: You also have the option to apply at your local Social Security Administration office. Wait times can be long, so it is recommended that applicants schedule an appointment ahead of time. The office closest to you can be found using the online locator.
