How should they be made?

Although it is not necessary to present an application on the official form, it is a good idea to use one, since the official forms include the data needed to process the application and this can speed up the process.

The application forms include instructions in easily understood language on how to fill them in. However, if you have any questions, the officials at the Social Security Attention and Information Centres (CAISS) will offer advice and help with filling in forms.

Where?

Applications for benefits managed by the National Institute of the Social Security (INSS), are processed and resolved:

• Generally, at the Provincial Directorate of the INSS where the application is submitted.
• For employment disability benefits, at the Provincial Directorate of the INSS that corresponds to where the interested party resides.
• If the applicant resides abroad, at the Provincial Directorate of the INSS of the province in Spain where their last contributions were certified or claimed.

Nevertheless, they may be submitted at any official registry.
