Personal Identification Documents

You’ll need to provide:


  • Birth certificate or proof of birth.
  • Social Security card or number.
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful immigrant status.
  • Marriage, divorce, or dependent information if applicable.


Work and Income Records

The SSA will ask for:


  • Recent W-2 forms or self-employment tax returns.
  • Detailed work history for the past 15 years.
  • Employer contact details and job descriptions.
  • Military service papers (if you served).


Medical Evidence

The most important part of your application is medical documentation:


  • Doctor and hospital records (diagnoses, treatment notes, test results).
  • Lab and imaging reports (X-rays, MRIs, blood work, etc.).
  • Medication lists and treatment history.
  • Statements from doctors describing how your condition limits daily activities and work.


Family and Dependent Information

Bring information about:


  • Spouse and children (names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers).
  • Marriage or divorce records if relevant.


Why These Documents Matter

These records help the SSA confirm:


  • Your identity and eligibility.
  • Your work credits under SSDI.
  • The severity of your medical condition and how it prevents you from working.
