The data below shows the average time you need to wait for an appointment, but times vary based on your service need. Most customers don’t need to visit an office as many tasks can be completed online.

• Very few services require you to visit a field office.  We encourage you to go online to reduce your wait time and avoid a trip to the office.
• If you must come into a field office, make an appointment for a Social Security card and call us to make an appointment for other services.

Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income ("disability") benefits provide essential income for people with disabilities. We carefully review medical and work history to determine eligibility.

There are 3 major steps in the initial disability claims process:

• Step 1: Field office checks to see if the customer meets basic non-medical requirements.
• Step 2: State Disability Determination Services (DDS) checks to see if the customer’s medical condition meets the disability requirements.
• Step 3: Field office approves or denies the claim and issues a decision letter.

The first and third steps occur at our field offices. The second and more detailed step occurs at the state level. Every state operates a DDS office funded by Social Security.
