Do You Need to File a Claim For Someone Else?

You can file a claim for someone else if (1) you have a signed form from that person giving you permission to file their claim, (2) you are their parent, guardian, conservator, or otherwise have a legal right to make decisions for them, or (3) they are your family member, and they are medically incapacitated.

• If you qualify as a Designated Representative: You will create a Login.gov account using your personal information.
• If you are helping someone else file their own claim and do not qualify as their Designated Representative: The person you are trying to file a claim for needs to submit a claim using their own Login.gov account.
