After you have reviewed the Child Disability Starter Kit which answers common questions about applying for SSI benefits for children, then you should work on the worksheet that will help you gather the information that you will need.
Do you need assistance completing the application process?
I do.  This is all very confusing to me and I want to ensure that I do this right.
You can take your time doing this.  After you start a Child Disability Report you can always use your re-entry number to return to working on the report online.
Is there a way to find all the necessary information in order to apply for disability for a child?
You will need to complete and Application for Supplemental Security Income and a Child Disability Report.  The report collects information about the child's disabling condition and how it affects his/her ability to function.
What are the steps in the application process?
You need to fill out the online Child Disability Report.  At the end of this report, we will ask you to sign a form that gives the child's doctor permission to give us information about his/her disability.
What is the signature at the end of the report for?
That is for you to give the child's doctor permission to give us information about his/her disability.
If I need further help with this, is there a TTY number that I can use for assistance?
