You call or go down to the local office of the Social
Security Administration. They will walk you through the whole process.

I applied for it in Maryland, but I applied for mine over the internet. Check it out on Google search engine. It might be helpful...

i went to a social service agency.

Depending on your situation, i.e., you age, condition, You are actually applying for SSDI. SSI only kicks-in if you are eligible, before you get your first SSDI check. You only get your first SSDI check five months after the month the state determines you were unable to work.

does that help?

oh, to be eligible for SSI, again, depending on your age and condition, you can't have more then $1999.00 in savings.

ive been getting ssi for about 3 years now. i contacted Allsup and they helped me out a lot. at first i did it on my own and was denied. i got it through them. they do have a site; ALLSUP.COM

Just go down to your local socialo security office, go early, adn be prepared to be there all day. They will give you all the info you need.

With the respect to others...don't rely too much on the monetary amounts people are telling you on DS, even though Soc sec is a federal thing, it is regulated by each state. For example. I can work while on SSDI and still make up to $640 a month in NY, and up to $41,000 during their 9 month trail period to go back to work. These numbers are likely to be differeret per state.
