Social security income application

Submit a request to apply for SSI and other benefits. Or, help someone else get started. This process takes about 5-10 minutes. We ask for basic information, such as:

Please submit one request for an appointment, per person. Submitting multiple requests may cause a processing delay.

After you submit the online request, a Social Security representative will schedule an appointment to complete your application. We will send the appointment date and time by mail (and email, if provided) within 7-14 business days to the person interested in applying. In some cases, a Social Security representative may call to schedule the appointment.
