Hey, can you tell me how to mail any documents to you?
================
Are you planning to mail any documents to us?
No, no, I just want some information for my dad.
Can you tell me what he needs to include with the documents?
If you are planning to mail documents to us, you must include the Social Security number so that we can match them with the correct application. Do not write anything on the original documents. Please write the Social Security number on a separate sheet of paper and include it in the mailing envelope along with the documents.
What if I don't want to send you these documents by mail?
Then you may bring them to a Social Security office. Do not mail foreign birth records or any documents from the Department of Homeland Security DHS, formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service INS, especially those you are required to keep with you at all times.
================
Can I call you instead? I'm deaf, so it might be difficult on the phone.
Of course, you can call us at TTY 1-800-325-0778. Or visit us in person, in your local Social Security office. Please call first to make an appointment.
================
What advantages do I have if I use your online disability application process?
Our online disability application process offers several advantages. For example, you can start your disability claim immediately.
================
Alright. And what documents do I need to provide?
We may ask you to provide documents to show that you are eligible, for example a birth certificate or other proof of birth or a proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not born in the United States.
