Although the rules and regulations that apply in determining if you qualify for benefits are very complex,  the actual application process is not as difficult as most people think.  The application can be completed online in the privacy of your own home. 

Applying online for disability benefits offers several advantages:

• You can start your disability claim immediately.  There is no need to wait for an appointment;
• You can apply from the convenience of your own home or on any computer; and
• You avoid trips to a Social Security office, saving you time and money.

You can use the online application to apply for benefits if you:

• Are age 18 or older;
• Have worked and paid Social Security taxes long enough to qualify;
• Have a medical condition that has prevented you from working or is expected to prevent you from working for at least 12 months or end in death; and
• Live in the United States or one of its territories/commonwealths.
