How to Apply for SSI Disability Benefits

People want to know when they should apply for SSI disability benefits. As soon as you become disabled you may file for disability benefits by phone (1-800-772-1213), mail or by visiting the nearest social security office.

It is important to note that you may received back benefits from the date you became disabled, but these benefits are capped to one year before the date you filed for social security disability benefits.

Remember, the longer you wait to get started, the longer it will be until you receive your benefits and you can lose some disability benefits forever by waiting too long.
