Gotcha. Is there a possibility I can do this over the phone? I feel more comfortable talking to a person.
Of course. You can call 1-800-772-1213 or TTY 1-800-325-0778 and speak to a Social Security representative between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also visit your local Social Security office.
Well, I don't have the documents yet. Should I still apply?
Yes, please don't delay applying for Social Security, even if you don't have all documents you need.
