Claimants need to register with Isle of Man Government Online Services
Applications and claims for Income Support can now be made online.
It's the latest phase of a government project aimed at modernising the delivery of Social Security services.
Claimants need to register with Isle of Man Government Online Services before setting up a Social Security account.
Once registered, customers will be able to apply for Income Support and upload supporting documentation in a range of formats, including scanned documents and photographs.
Treasury says further improvements are planned over the coming months to enable ongoing Income Support claims to be reviewed digitally.
Treasury Minister Alex Allinson said: "The Social Security team have been working to modernise the claiming of benefits, making the online system responsive and a more efficient way to apply.
"This has already been rolled out for Incapacity Benefit with the added feature of direct messaging.
"This further improvement for those eligible for Income Support will ensure people can upload all their relevant documents easily and conveniently."
He added: "Whilst people can still apply using paper forms, online services will help simplify the system and notify the team of any changes in personal circumstances."
Anyone requiring support to complete their online application form can visit the counter service at Markwell House in Douglas.
Applicants should bring their Online Services login credentials with them.
The next online benefit applications due for development are Employed Person’s Allowance and Jobseeker’s Allowance, which are expected to launch over the next 12 to 18 months.
