Applicants for SSDI and SSI can file for benefits •online at SSA.gov Web site •by contacting SSA's toll-free telephone service line (1-800-772-1213) •by visiting a local Social Security Office If the applicant has enough work credits (SSDI) or meets the income/resource criteria (SSI), SSA will send the case file to DDS, which gathers medical and related information to see if the applicant is disabled according to Social Security law. SSA is responsible for making final decisions as to whether or not a person is eligible to receive benefits.
