Our Mobile Check-In Express feature makes it easier to check in if you must visit a Social Security office.
To use Mobile Check-In Express, scan the QR code located at your local Social Security office.
This will allow you to check in for:

For Mobile Check-In Express to work, you must be at the Social Security office and have location services on. You should also make sure you’re using the latest version of your internet browser. The service is most compatible with Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. You’ll also want to:
- Ensure you are in the office when your ticket number is called.

- Allow you to receive your electronic ticket – so you know your place in line.
- Alert you when we’re ready to help you.

I want to know how do i appy emergency disbility funds
Sue
Hi, Kristin. Thanks for reading our blog and for your question. Social Security pays disability benefits to adults who are unable to work because of a physical or mental condition that is expected to last at least 12 months or end in death. Our Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program makes payments to adults and children with disabilities who have limited income and resources. We can make “expedited” SSI payments in limited situations. For more information, check out Understanding SSI. To apply for disability, please visit here. You may also be eligible to receive social services from the state in which you live. These include emergency assistance, Medicaid, free meals, housekeeping, transportation, or other services. We hope this helps.

Follow-up on a call didn’t get
Amy M.
I stood in line for 2 hours because the online system said I had to come in. Then 10 mins before the office opened, security brought out QR codes and all of a sudden, people that just got there were before me. This is ridiculous, I don’t know how to do that! I can barely check my email. Ifeel like I’m being discriminated against because I can’t work technology!
