You can apply in person, by phone, or online.

By phone or In person: go to https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp and enter your zip code.
SSDI benefits are calculated based on your earnings (wages) history. As long as it is SSDI and not SSI benefits that you seek, your husband's monthly SSDI benefits will not impact yours.
