The Social Security Administration (SSA) is phasing in an expansion of its online benefit application system that could provide a fully digital process to file a claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) as soon as late 2025.
The planned expansion of the agencyโs iClaim system, announced in late August, is part of a suite of changes aimed at simplifying the cumbersome process of applying for SSI, a monthly benefit for people with low incomes and limited financial resources who are age 65 or older, blind or have a disability.
