File for Disability in Kansas

Applying for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) in Kansas is just like applying in any other state. This is due to the fact that the SSA is a federal, government-run organization. You can apply in three different ways, all of which provide the same chances for approval.

You can apply:

• Over the telephone by calling the SSA at their customer service line: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778)
• Directly in-person at your local Social Security field office.
• On the internet at the SSA's official website: ssa.gov.
