Hello, can you please walk me through the steps of a child disability application?
================
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, and includes a worksheet that will help you gather the information you need.
Do want to do the Child Disability report offline or do you need help?
Yes, both would be great.
In that case you can call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213.
================
Great! Do I need to make an appointment for my application?
Yes. Please contact us by phone or in person to schedule an appointment to complete the SSI application. We will help you in person or by phone.
Will do. What else should I know before my application?
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.
================
Do you also have a number for those hard of hearing? I can't hear well.
Yes, simply call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
What should I do after I talked to social security?
You should fill out the online Child Disability Report. At the end of the report, we will ask you to sign a form that gives the child's doctor permission to give us information about his/her disability.
