You will need your Social Security number and financial information for you and your spouse (if married and living together), including information on deposits in bank accounts, income from pensions, investments or annuities, and face value of life insurance policies to complete the application. However, you should apply even if you think you don't have all of this information.You can apply or get more information about extra help by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visiting www.socialsecurity.gov.
