SSI Office Near Me: Where to Apply for Supplemental Security Income

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is paid by the Social Security Administration (SSA), so the "SSI office" is your local Social Security field office. Every field office takes SSI applications, annual redeterminations and change reports. The locator below shows the closest ones; Card Centers, which do not handle SSI, are left out.

Find the closest office that handles SSI

Use your location or a ZIP code. Every office shown takes SSI applications and reviews.

    What the SSI office does

    At the office or by phone

    • New SSI applications (adult, aged 65+, and children)
    • The non-medical decision: income, resources, living arrangement, citizenship
    • Redeterminations of income and resources every 1 to 6 years
    • Reports of changes in income, household, marriage, address or travel abroad
    • Overpayment questions and repayment plans
    • Representative payee applications and changes
    • Direct deposit and Direct Express card set-up

    Not at the office

    • The medical disability decision, made by your state's Disability Determination Services from your records
    • Hearings, held by administrative law judges at separate hearing offices
    • Medicaid cards and coverage questions, handled by your state Medicaid agency (SSI approval usually brings automatic Medicaid)
    • SNAP benefits, although some offices take the application alongside SSI

    Who qualifies for SSI

    • Aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled under SSA's definition (a condition expected to last at least 12 months that prevents substantial work)
    • Countable resources of no more than $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple; your home and one vehicle do not count
    • Limited income; the first $20 a month and part of any wages are excluded, the rest reduces the payment
    • U.S. citizen or qualifying non-citizen, living in the 50 states, D.C. or the Northern Mariana Islands

    SSA sets the federal benefit rate each January; it is published on ssa.gov and not repeated here. Several states add a supplement. The full rules, including how a spouse's or parent's income is counted, are in the SSI application guide; the differences from SSDI are in SSDI vs SSI.

    Three ways to start an SSI claim

    1. Online start (ages 18–64, first application): ssa.gov/ssi. SSA calls you to complete the interview.
    2. Phone: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM local time. Ask for an SSI appointment; the interview is done by phone.
    3. In person: book an appointment at the office above and bring originals: proof of age and status, bank statements, income proof, lease and bills, and for disability your medical and work history. See what to bring.

    SSI is never paid for months before you apply, so contacting SSA by any route protects your filing date even if the interview is weeks later.

    Small towns: SSA resident stations

    SSA also staffs 32 resident stations in rural areas, small offices that are often open fewer days a week but take SSI business like any field office. They appear in the locator with their real schedule; check the office page before travelling.

    SSI office questions

    Is there a separate SSI office?

    No. Supplemental Security Income is administered by the Social Security Administration, and every one of its 1220 field offices takes SSI applications, redeterminations and change reports. Only the 7 Social Security Card Centers do not handle SSI.

    Can I apply for SSI without visiting an office?

    Yes. Call 1-800-772-1213 to book a telephone interview, or, if you are 18 to 64 and have never applied, start online at ssa.gov/ssi and SSA will call you to finish. Your filing date is protected from the day you contact SSA.

    What is the SSI phone number?

    The same as Social Security: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM local time. Your local office’s direct number, listed on its page, reaches the staff who handle your SSI file.

    What does the SSI office need from me?

    Proof of age and citizenship or immigration status, bank statements for every account, pay stubs or benefit letters, your lease or mortgage and utility bills, vehicle registration, insurance policies, and for disability claims the names of your doctors, medications and your work history for the last 15 years. Originals only.

    What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

    SSDI is disability insurance earned through work credits; SSI is a needs-based payment for people who are 65 or older, blind or disabled with limited income and resources. Both use the same medical standard and both are handled at the same offices.

    How do I report a change to the SSI office?

    Call the local office or 1-800-772-1213, use the SSI mobile wage reporting app or the my Social Security wage reporting tool for earnings, or visit the office. Changes must be reported within 10 days after the end of the month in which they happen.
