Online: At the Social Security Administration's website (http://ssa.gov/applyfordisability/). By submitting an online application, you can complete both Social Security's Application and Social Security's Adult Disability and Work History Report online.
By Phone: Call Social Security at their toll-free phone number 1-800-772-1213, and they will schedule an appointment to call you back.
In-Person: You can also go into your local Social Security office and tell them you want to apply for Social Security Disability or SSI benefits. To find the closest Social Security office to your home, use Social Security's zip code office locater on their website.
Before you apply, please call Tucker & Ludin at (727) 572-5000 or toll-free at (866) 282-5260, and we will give you free legal advice and help you with the application process, if necessary. Often, you don't need a lawyer to apply for benefits. We may recommend that you apply on your own and call us if you are denied, but we will still give you free legal advice that will help you with your application.
