The first step in applying for SSI is to fill out the Child Disability Report.
Finding the form and instructions
You can find the form online during these hours:
-
Monday - Friday 4:00am to 12:00am (Central Time)
-
Saturday 4:00am to 10:00pm
-
Sunday 7:00am to 10:30pm
Most websites are 'open' around the clock, but this one is not!
Social Security has made a SSI Child Disability Starter Kit for parents. This kit has instructions, checklists and all of the important forms in one place for you.

Filling out the Disability Report
-
You can fill it out and submit it online or you can fill it out on your own and bring it in when you do your interview.
-
You will need to sign a form to give Social Security permission to get medical information from your child's doctors.
See the next page in the menu on the left to learn about Part 2 - the interview.
