Printing Forms |
SSA offers our forms in Portable Document
Format (PDF). PDF files are printer independent using any
printer. To read and
print a PDF publication, you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader software
installed on your PC. You can download the Adobe Acrobat Reader version
suitable for your system by clicking on this button. There is no charge
for this software.
SSA forms must be printed on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper. You must print the form with blue or black ink to be acceptable to SSA. NOTE: if you live abroad, and cannot obtain 8.5 x 11 paper, the use of A4 size paper (8.25 x 11.7) is the only acceptable alternative. |

Prepare for Your Interview |
Whether it’s by phone or in person, we want your visit to go as smoothly as possible. You can help by being ready to answer the required questions and having as many of the needed documents as possible. Don’t delay filing your claim just because you don’t have all the documents. We’ll help you get them. To apply for benefits: If you live in the U.S. – call us at 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local office. You may also complete an application for Retirement and/or Spouse's Benefits, or Disability Benefits online. If you live outside the U.S., contact the nearest U.S. Social Security office, U.S. Embassy or consulate, or the Veterans Affairs Regional Office (VARO) in the Philippines. Contact us soon so that we can make sure that your payments start at the earliest date possible. To see what questions we will ask you, select the type of benefit that you will be applying and then click on the button, "Make Your Selection". |
