I believe it depends on the situation of your local SS office. It may vary from state to state.
I live in New Jersey. Back in the early 2000 I initially applied by phone. Approximately 48 hours after the phone interview, I received the initial application by mail.
After I completed the application, I took it down to my local SS office. The end of the line was outside & wrapped around the building!!! 
I turned right around & mailed my application.
In N.J. the initial application is processed at the local office. Everything else is processed either in Philadelphia or Washington D.C. The "determination & initial $$$" process is done at the state capital Trenton.
Currently, all of my SSDI correspondence is either from Philly or D.C. Never from N.J. the state I reside in.
My yearly SS 1099 tax form & statement come from Philly.
