Ensure Your Application for Disability Benefits Is Complete
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: October 24, 2024
Social Security takes care to handle your claim for benefits efficiently. When you submit your application for disability benefits, be sure to provide as much information as possible. That will help to avoid any processing delays.
Here’s how to get your application off to a good start:
- If you’re an adult applying for disability benefits, use this checklist to get ready for your phone or in-person interview or as you prepare to complete your online application: Adult Disability Starter Kit.
- If you’re applying for a child, our Child Disability Starter Kit lists information and documents that you will need for the disability interview or to complete the Child Disability Report.
- If you are an appointed representative, be sure to also include your Appointment of Representative. Check out this video for more information:
