SSI Application and Forms
There are many forms, documents, and applications involved in applying for SSI. In addition to your SSI application form, you may be required to bring the following when applying for SSI:
- Your birth certificate or other government-approved proof of age
- Your Social Security card or a record of your Social Security number
- Proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status
- The names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics where you have been treated
- Information about the home where you live, such as your mortgage or your lease and landlord's name
- Payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about your income and the things you own
- Your checkbook or other papers that show your bank, credit union or savings and loan account number
Gathering the necessary documentation for your SSI application can be incredibly time-consuming and complicated, and once you have filed your claim you have no guarantee that it will be awarded. If you are applying for SSI, you have the right to have someone represent you, and statistics clearly show that claimants who are represented by Binder & Binder® win their SSI disability benefits far more often than those who apply on their own. Even if you've already had your SSI application denied, we can still win your case.
The Social Security Disability advocates at Binder & Binder® can help you gather the necessary documents and forms, submit your SSI disability application form, and keep you updated on your application status.
We're a national organization with regional home offices all across America; no matter where you live, we can help. Call us at 1-800-66-BINDER or contact us online to speak with an advocate.
