I need some help with the application process for disability benefits.
================
Of course. First of all, you should review the Child Disability Starter Kit. This kit answers common questions about applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for children.
Do want to do your child disability report offline or do you need help?
Yes, to both.
In that case you can call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213.
By the way, does the starter kit include a worksheet?
Yes, it includes a worksheet that will help you gather the information you need.
Are you deaf or hard of hearing?
Yes, unfortunately I'm hard of hearing.
In that case you can call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
================
Perfect. Is there anything else I should know when applying for a child?
You will need to complete an Application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) AND a Child Disability Report. The report collects information about the child's disabling condition and how it affects his/her ability to function. At this time, only the Child Disability Report can be completed online.
