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.

HTH

tx!! - Hmmm, maybe it does vary from state to state. Maybe that is why I am having a difficult time with this question. Thankfully I was granted an extension to my filing deadline. I want to file in the mode that allows one to add the most detail to their filing application, via adding additional pages to write / type on and via the mode that allows one to drop off medical records at local office, since I already have almost all of them. So the remaining question is, in Calif, which mode of initial filing allows one to do that??

I called and spoke to SS on the phone with questions but the person must have been a newbie as their answers were contrary to what is on the SS website.
