<p>You can apply for benefits by calling our national toll-free service at <strong>1-800-772-1213</strong> (TTY <strong>1-800-325-0778</strong>) or by visiting <a href="/locator/">your local Social Security office</a>. An appointment is not required, but if you call ahead and schedule one, it may reduce the time you spend waiting to apply.</p>
|
||
<p>You can help by being ready to:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Provide any needed documents; and</li>
|
||
<li>Answer the questions listed below.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3>Documents you may need to provide</h3>
|
||
<p>We may ask you to provide documents to determine if a child is eligible for benefits:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The child's birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption;</li>
|
||
<li>Proof of the worker’s marriage to the child’s natural or adoptive parent if the child is the worker’s stepchild;</li>
|
||
<li>Proof of the child’s U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status if the child was not born in the United States [<a href="/hlp/isba/10/hlp-isba005-ctzn.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Proof of Citizenship/Lawful Alien Status">More Info</a>];</li>
|
||
<li>W-2 form(s) and/or self-employment tax returns if the child had earnings last year; and</li>
|
||
<li>If the worker is deceased, proof of the worker’s death and U.S. military discharge paper(s).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>If you are applying for disability benefits for an adult child disabled before age 22, please complete these two forms that describe your child’s medical condition and authorize disclosure of information to us:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><a href="ssa-3368-bk.pdf">Adult Disability Report (SSA-3368)</a>; and</li>
|
||
<li><a href="ssa-827.pdf">Authorization to Disclose Information to the Social Security Administration (SSA-827)</a>.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>We may also ask you to provide documents to determine if you may be eligible for benefits for having the child in your care:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your birth certificate or other proof of birth;</li>
|
||
<li>Proof of marriage if you are or were married to the worker; and</li>
|
||
<li>Proof of your U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not born in the United States [<a href="/hlp/isba/10/hlp-isba005-ctzn.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Proof of Citizenship/Lawful Alien Status">More Info</a>].</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<div class="alert-red">
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong></p>
|
||
<p>We accept photocopies of W-2 forms, self-employment tax returns or medical documents but we must see the original of most other documents, such as your birth certificate. We will return the documents to you.</p>
|
||
<p>Do not delay applying for benefits because you do not have all the documents. We will help you get them.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<h3>What we will ask you</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your name and Social Security number;</li>
|
||
<li>The worker's name and Social Security number;</li>
|
||
