    This subpart contains the rules for filing a claim for supplemental 
security income (SSI) benefits. It tells you what an application is, who 
may sign it, who must file one to be eligible for benefits, the period 
of time it is in effect, and how it may be withdrawn. It also tells you 
when a written statement or an oral inquiry may be considered to 
establish an application filing date.
