Applying for SSDI payments and creating a my Social Security account go hand in hand. In order to create a my Social Security account you will need to verify your identity. For example, have on hand tax forms, W-2, credit card, and your mobile phone.
Undoubtedly, to apply for SSDI you will need to provide Social Security with your birthdate and birthplace. Those who are not a U.S. citizen must also give SSA their Permanent Resident Card Number.
FOR SSDI YOU NEED TO SAY YOUR MARITAL STATUS
Whether you are divorced, single, or married, you need to tell it to the Social Security Administration. Spouses may be entitled to SSDI benefits on your record, so this could be of great help if they qualify.
Name of current and/or prior spouse will be necessary. That is particularly important if the marriage lasted more than 10 years and if your spouse passed away or not. Their SSN and birthdate will be required.
If you have a child with a disability, you must also report it. Of course, you will need their names and birth details. If you have unmarried children under 18 or older than 18 to 19 at secondary school you will also need to inform SSA.
SSDI APPLICATION REQUIRES EMPLOYMENT, MILITARY AND MEDICAL DETAILS
Gather all the details you have from your current employer. If you had a different employer in the previous 2 years, you should also give it to SSA. If you are self-employed you will need your Social Security Statement.
Many Americans are in the U.S. Military service. Therefore, it is essential that you inform Social Security about the type of branch and duty you are or were in. Service period dates are essential as well.
Since you will receive SSDI payments if eligible, you need to give Social Security your bank routing number. So, make sure you have with you your account type and number to receive future monthly payments of up to $3,822.
