A health problem may keep you from working for a year. First Claim Guide and a disability representative who serves your area may call about the first filing.
You send five fields. A disability representative who serves your area may call about the claim. Appointing anyone is still your decision.
Your name, phone, email, state, and city go to one or more disability representatives that serve your area. They do not go to Social Security.
Expect the date you last worked, your doctors, and whether you already filed. The call does not file the claim.
If you appoint that person, Social Security has to approve any fee. If you do not, you can tell them to stop.
First Claim Guide runs this guide. Write to tabular_spout_3y@icloud.com. No disability attorney is named here, because none has signed these pages.

The pages follow Social Security rules for SSDI, SSI, work credits, and appeals. First Claim Guide is not the Social Security Administration and not a law firm. The form does not file a claim, and it does not promise an approval.
You send your name, phone, email, state, and city. First Claim Guide and disability representatives near you may call and text. You can tell them no. The call does not hire anyone.
Checked against SSA.gov
Every Social Security rule and dollar figure on this page links to the SSA page it came from.
Five fields, then a call
Name, phone, email, state, and city. The form never asks for a Social Security number.
Social Security pays only for total disability. The condition has to last, or be expected to last, 12 months, or to result in death.
Apply as soon as you become disabled, online or at 1-800-772-1213, even if records are still coming. If earnings are under the limit, Disability Determination Services reviews the medical file.
In 2026, one work credit is $1,890 in covered earnings. SSI is the needs-based program and does not require work credits. You can ask Social Security to look at both.
The adult medical standard is generally the same. The money, the wait, and the health coverage are not.
You can send the form without either of these. A denial, if you already have one, generally has a 60-day appeal window.
No. This is an independent guide. The person who calls you is a private representative, not Social Security. The SSA phone number is 1-800-772-1213.
Sending the form does not hire anyone. If you later appoint that representative, Social Security has to approve any fee they charge for work on the claim.
No one can promise that. Social Security decides every claim. A no can be appealed, generally within 60 days of the notice.
A partner disability representative may call or text the number you entered. You can tell them to stop. The form never asks for a Social Security number.
One guide on how a claim starts, plus short answers and the representative checklist.
You decide what happens after the call. The form does not file the claim.
