How to use Disability Command Center

Five steps from “I think I might qualify” to a printed, signed, ready-to-file packet. Work at your own pace — everything saves as you go.

1. 1. Run the eligibility screener

   Answer a short set of questions about your work history, income, and condition. You'll get a plain-English read on whether SSDI, SSI, or a child SSI claim fits your situation. It's free and you don't need an account to start — your answers save to your account when you sign in.

   Open the screener
2. 2. Choose your path and unlock it

   Pick Initial Application, Reconsideration, or Appeal/Hearing (ALJ prep) — each is purchased separately, and adult and child tracks are handled separately. Founder's pricing is automatically applied before the countdown on your dashboard runs out.

   Choose a path
3. 3. Work through the application wizard

   The wizard walks you through personal info, medical conditions, work history, doctors, and medications. Every blank has a help icon explaining what SSA is really asking for, and narrative answers get a strength meter that warns you when an answer is likely too thin.

4. 4. Upload documents and print your forms

   Upload medical records, work records, and ID into secure categorized storage. When the readiness checklist is green, generate pre-filled official SSA forms (SSA-16, SSA-8000, SSA-3368, SSA-3369, SSA-827, SSA-3820 for child claims) plus a reference appendix, then print and sign them.

   Go to forms
5. 5. Track your appeal deadline

   If SSA denies your claim, enter the date on the denial notice. The dashboard counts down your 60 (+5 mailing) day window, warns you at 14 days, and gives you a stage-specific filing checklist you can print.
