Have you read the Disability Starter Kit? It lets you know what you will need in order to qualify.
Yes but I need to know when I should apply. Can you help me?
You should apply as soon as you become disabled.
Have you already been officially declared to have a disability?
I mean, I haven't gotten a doctor to say it yet but I feel like I am.
ok anyway, once I get the official stuff from my doctor, how do I apply for disability?
You can apply for benefits either online, or over the phone by calling 1-800-772-1213.
Is there anything I can read for more information on this whole process?
Yes. The Disability Starter Kit that you received is the best place to start to get the information that you need.
When I apply, how soon will I get social security money?
If you are approved, you will receive Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) on the first full month after the date that you filed your claim, or the date you become eligible, whichever is soonest.
I want to call the number to apply but I am deaf. Is there a separate number for that?
