When filing for SSI, applicants are usually required to work with a Social Security representative, who will conduct an interview either in person or over the phone. However, in certain cases, SSI applicants can complete the application process online without having to be interviewed by a Social Security representative. This applies to applicants who are:
Aged 16 to 65
US citizens living in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands
Single and have not been married before
First-time SSI applicants
