How to apply for SSI/SSDI

Attend a workshop before scheduling a one-on-one appointment with our Mobile Benefits Counselor. These workshops provide a basic understanding of the application process and will equip you with the knowledge and essential skills to be confident and apply independently.

All community members who will be assisting their loved ones or clients are welcome to attend the virtual workshop.

We encourage anyone feeling under the weather or recovering from a cold to wear a proper facemask. If you are feeling sick, please do not attend and reschedule with the benefits counselor.

If you are in need of accommodations (ASL, large print, etc.), please request at least two weeks in advance so we can prepare the materials and obtain an American Sign Language interpreter for you.

To register for our in-person workshop, please complete a HIPAA registration form. CLICK HERE to RSVP. You may call the front desk if you need assistance. There will be no walk-ins. In the event of a workshop cancellation, we will contact you by phone or email.

  • Applying for yourself, and let us know if you require accommodations—example: Large print, American Sign Language interpreter.

If there are any changes to the workshop, including cancellation, we will contact you via email or phone. If you can’t attend a workshop you’ve signed up for, please let us know in advance by calling the front desk at 845-452-3913.
