Ways to Contact SSI
Call the SSA’s National Helpline
One of the easiest ways to contact SSI is by calling the SSA’s national helpline. They can provide general information, answer questions about your claim, and guide you through the process.
- Phone Number: 1-800-772-1213
- Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- TTY (Text Telephone) Number: 1-800-325-0778 (for those with hearing impairments)
When calling, make sure to have your Social Security number (SSN) and any relevant information about your claim handy to help the representative assist you more efficiently.
Visit Your Local SSA Office
If you prefer to speak to someone in person, you can visit your local SSA office. Use the SSA’s online office locator to find the nearest office to you:
- SSA Office Locator: https://www.ssa.gov/locator/
At the office, a representative can assist you with your SSI claim, answer questions, and provide personalized support. It’s a good idea to schedule an appointment before visiting to reduce your wait time.
Apply Online for SSI
The SSA allows you to apply for SSI benefits online, and you can check the status of your claim or request additional information through your online account. If you’re already receiving SSI, you can manage your benefits, update your address, and more.
- SSI Online Application: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi/
To create an online account, go to the SSA’s website and register for “my Social Security.” This online portal allows you to track the progress of your claim and submit necessary documents.
Mail Your Documents to SSA
If you need to submit documents to support your SSI claim, you can mail them to the SSA. Be sure to send copies, not originals, and keep track of what you’ve submitted.
- Mailing Address: The mailing address for SSI claims depends on your location. Use the SSA website or contact the national helpline for the correct address.
Contact SSA by Fax
In some cases, the SSA allows you to fax documents directly to them. Be sure to check if your local SSA office accepts faxes and confirm the fax number before sending any documents.
Follow Up on Your Claim Status
If you want to check the status of your SSI claim or get updates, the easiest way is through your online account. Alternatively, you can call the SSA’s national helpline to ask for updates.
