Social Security online application stuck on 'save and exit' with no submit button - how to complete?

this happened to me last month!! so frustrating. check if theres a review page you need to go through first. i remember i had to click something that said 'review application' before the submit button showed up. if not maybe try a different browser? the ssa website is terrible

There are a couple of possibilities here: 1. You may have missed a required field somewhere in the application. The system won't let you submit until ALL required fields are completed. Go back through each section and look for any red asterisks or highlighted fields. 2. There should be a "Review" or "Submit" button on the final summary page. If you're only seeing "Save and Exit," you're likely not on the actual final page yet. 3. Sometimes the SSA online system has session timeouts that can cause issues. Try logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in. 4. Check if you have any pop-up blockers enabled - sometimes the submission confirmation appears in a pop-up window that might be blocked.

yea the ssa website is GARBAGE!!!! i had to call them after trying for 3 weeks to submit my disability application online. waste of time doing it online just call them

I had this EXACT same problem two months ago! What fixed it was clicking on the "Application Status" tab first, then there was an option to review the application, and THEN the submit button finally appeared. The website navigation is really confusing. If that doesn't work, try using Internet Explorer (if you still have it) because some government sites work better with older browsers for some reason.

If you're still having trouble submitting your application online, I'd recommend using Claimyr to connect with a Social Security representative quickly. I was stuck in a similar situation with my disability application and spent days trying to get through on the regular SSA phone line with no luck. With Claimyr (claimyr.com), I got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes who helped me complete my submission. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/Z-BRbJw3puU. Definitely worth it to avoid the frustration of the website issues.

The submit button should appear after you've completed the "Review and Submit" section. Sometimes it's not obvious that you need to click through one more screen. Also, check if you have any sections marked as "incomplete" on your application status page. The SSA online system won't let you submit if even one question is unanswered or one document is missing. If all else fails, you can schedule an appointment at your local office or call the main number (though be prepared for a long wait). The good news is that as long as you've started your application, your filing date is protected even if there's a delay in actually submitting it.

did u ever get this fixed?? im having the same problem now lol

I'm glad to see this got resolved! This is such a common issue with the SSA online system. For anyone else running into this problem, here are the key things that seem to work based on everyone's experiences: 1. Look for a "Ready to Submit" or "Application Status" tab at the top of your dashboard 2. Make sure ALL required fields are completed (even ones that seem optional) 3. Try different browsers - Chrome and Edge tend to work better than Firefox 4. Clear your browser cache and cookies before trying again 5. Check that pop-up blockers aren't interfering with the submission process The SSA website definitely needs better user experience design, but at least there are workarounds. Thanks to everyone who shared their solutions - this thread will be really helpful for future people dealing with the same frustration!
