Many Indiana residents applying for Social Security disability benefits online may find the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) new website a bit easier to navigate compared to the older website. While it may be more pleasing to the eye, the revamped website appears to be very similar to the old website. Actually, it is not too difficult to apply for disability benefits online by just following the simple prompts provided by the website.
By typing in www.ssa.gov you can enter the new Social Security website. At the top of the SSA website home page you will see a tab for “disability”. By clicking on this tab you will see directions for following four steps to get the process started. This page not only gets you started on applying for disability benefits, but you may also check your disability application status and also appeal a denied medical decision about your claim. There are a number of other things you can do online with the Social Security Administration’s website, you may want to take a moment to see if any other areas of the website are of interest.
While you can apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits online, it is still Indianapolis Social Security Attorney Scott Lewis’ understanding you cannot apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits on the www.ssa.gov website. Indianapolis disability lawyer Scott Lewis advises his clients to call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Indianapolis disability lawyer Scott Lewis advises his clients to apply for both programs in the event you are not eligible for one program then the other program may be appropriate for your circumstances.
