I need to know what I need to do to qualify for disability benefits.
You are in the right place! What questions do you have about the process?
================
First off, when should I apply?
You should try to apply as soon as you become disabled.
Will you be applying for Social Security disability benefits?
No, I don't think that's right.
================
Is there a way that I can apply over the phone? I don't have internet at home. I am at the library right now to do this chat.
Yes, we have a toll-free number that you can use to apply. The number is 1-800-772-1213.
================
That Social Security benefit thing you mentioned, maybe that was the right thing I need. Would I get money from that right away?
The benefits will be sent to you starting on the sixth full month from the date of your disability.
================
All of this seems so difficult and overwhelming. Is there anything that can make it easier for me to understand?
I know it seems like difficult to you now, but our Disability Starter Kit will tell you just what you need to do to apply.
