No you can apply online. They have refused to let anyone make an appointment at the Polk County SSA office for months I've been trying for over 4 months because I have to prove my daughter is real for a new SS card and don't know her SS number. I have PTSD and standing in line outside or waiting is very very difficult and I've been very clear about it. I'm on SSDI myself and applied online in 2005 don't make an appointment and they can only ask questions not help you file the correct paperwork.
yes
