You are in the right place! What questions do you have about the process?
First off, when should I apply?
You should try to apply as soon as you become disabled.
Will you be applying for Social Security disability benefits?
No, I don't think that's right.
Is there a way that I can apply over the phone? I don't have internet at home. I am at the library right now to do this chat.
Yes, we have a toll-free number that you can use to apply. The number is 1-800-772-1213.
That Social Security benefit thing you mentioned, maybe that was the right thing I need. Would I get money from that right away?
The benefits will be sent to you starting on the sixth full month from the date of your disability.
All of this seems so difficult and overwhelming. Is there anything that can make it easier for me to understand?
