If you are approved, you will receive Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) on the first full month after the date that you filed your claim, or the date you become eligible, whichever is soonest.

Yes, of course. The TTY number is 1-800-325-0778, and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m
