I have got many requests from visitors to CPC for information concerning Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It has taken me quite a while to compile this information. The SSI information is divided into 2 sections: 

Common Questions about SSI: This page contains the most common questions people have when dealing with the Social Security Administration. If you are new to applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or are considering applying for SSI, I very strongly recommend you go over these questions.

Locate an SSA Office: Use the US map on this page to locate your regional or nearest SSA Office to send your SSI application Also get other information like phone numbers, addresses, and other key information.

If you are unable to find the information here for SSI, send CPC an email at questions@cpconnection.com and I will try to locate the information you may be looking for.
