Where do I go to apply for disability ?Firstly, you do not specifically have to go anywhere to file for disability as Social Security has a few options for filing disability claims. You may call the toll free number and someone from the Immediate Claims Taking Unit (ICT) can take your claim over the phone, although you may have to mail in your certified birth certificate and medical release forms. Secondly, you can call you local Social Security office to set up an appointment for a Social Security disability claim or SSI disability claim, to be conducted in person or by telephone. Again, you may have to mail in your certified birth certificate and your medical release forms, however the Social Security Administration will usually provide a self addressed postage-paid envelop for the return of your documents. Additionally, Social Security will return all of your documents to you, after they have been verified. Thirdly, you may file a disability application online. Currently, you may file your Title II (disability based on your earnings, otherwise known as social security disability) disability application and disability forms online. However you cannot file an SSI (disability based on financial need) application online at this time. In other words, anything you submit online for SSI is not counted as a bonafide application with the benefit of protective filing.
