The first thing you have to know is that you should apply for the disability benefits as soon as you become disabled.
Do you want to apply now?
No, not now.
Do you have any hearing impairment?
I do, yes.
in that case, you can use our TTY number 1-800-325-0778.
Now, about the disability starter kits. Are the kits available in Spanish?
Yes, the kits are available in English and Spanish, with versions for adults and for children under the age of 18.
What are the kits for anyways?
You can use our Disability Starter Kit to help you get ready for the disability interview or online application.
and, what about those that can't get enough credits to qualify for Social Security disability benefits?
In case people don't have enough credits for the disability benefits, they could qualify for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if they have limited income and resources.
How can I appeal a decision if my application gets rejected?
If your application is denied you have the right to ask us to review your application again and in the notice, you receive from us, that says that you don't qualify, you'll find instructions on how to appeal.
What personal information do I have to give to apply for the benefits?
