Initial Claim Application

The initial claim is filed by the claimant at the local district office of the Social Security Administration located closest to his/her residence.

After the claim is filed, it is considered by the Social Security Administration and an initial decision is made. The claimant is notified of the decision.

If the claim is disallowed, the letter the claimant receives will explain why.

The claimant can file for reconsideration within 60 days of the date the denial of the application was received.
