An online application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is now available for some adults, making the application process easier.
SSI provides monthly payments to adults and children with disabilities, as well as people 65 and older, who have little or no income and resources.
The rollout of the streamlined online application is the first phase of a multi-year effort to simplify the disability application process and improve access for those who may be eligible.
In the past, customers could apply online for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and select only the intent to file for SSI through SSA.gov. Now, SSA is expanding the online application to actually include a simplified, streamlined version of the initial SSI application.
The enhanced online application is accessible to adults who:
- Are 18-64 years and 10 months and applying for SSI and SSDI.
- Have never been married.
- Have never applied for SSI for themselves or a child.
- Are U.S. citizens or noncitizens
