You could also call and request a copy from the SS office as they will have that documentation available in case you have lost it.

If you bring your application to your local office they will date stamp it and give you a copy.

Default Detailed & thorough
Due to time constraints I will be filing on my own without a lawyer to start. i read in the sticky advice above that it is best to include all detailed and thorough info. So my question is, to be able to provide detailed info and to be able to provide some of the medical records that I am already in possession of, is it best to apply on-line or in-person? Are you able to accomplish the same goal both ways? Or are you limited more if you apply on-line? tx

If you are required by the LTD carrier to apply they must help you do this as well. Most use Allsup. Its better to go directly to the SSA office in person and let an intake rep help you

Thx Jinga - they do not use Allsup. Could you please explain more why best to go directly to the SSA office in person and let an intake rep help? Is that because then later the way the process works I will be able to provide thorough and detailed info, more so than on-line? thx again!

You can probably spend more time doing it online because you can start and stop as you need to. If you do it in person in your local office, the claims rep may be pressured to get you in and out of the office in a shorter period of time. You are still the one who has to provide the answers to the questions, whether you do in online or in person.

Tx Janke! So may I please ask Janke or anyone else who has recently filed... are these the 3 ways to do the very first initial filing?:
#1 in person or on phone with an interviewer asking the questions on the applications;
#2 on-line by filing out both the application & the adult disability report; and
#3 by dropping off at local ss office a hand written or typed completed application & the adult disability report, and medical records (if copies in my possession)?
tx!

I filed online and found that it was not that hard, just very time consuming. Then I dropped medical records off at the local office within a couple days.

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.

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. tx
