Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.


1. Check Online Using Your my Social Security Account

The fastest and easiest way to check your claim status is by using your my Social Security account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount. Through your account, you can:


  • View your current application status
  • See if SSA has received your required documents
  • Check for any requests for additional information
  • Review estimated decision dates


If you do not have an account, you can create one online. It is a secure way to manage your application and benefits at any time.


2. Call the Social Security Administration

You can call SSA’s toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to check your claim status. Representatives are available:


  • Monday through Friday
  • From 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.


Be sure to have your Social Security number and application information ready for identity verification.


3. Contact the Disability Determination Bureau (DDB) in Indiana

Your claim is processed by the Disability Determination Bureau (DDB) in Indiana after submission. You can contact them to check your application status. Their office reviews medical evidence and decides whether you meet SSA’s disability criteria.


To find the DDB contact information, visit the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) website or call SSA for direct contact details.


4. Visit Your Local SSA Office

You can also visit your local Social Security office in Indiana to inquire about your claim status. To save time:


  • Schedule an appointment beforehand
  • Bring your identification and any SSA correspondence with you


Use the SSA Office Locator at ssa.gov/locator to find your nearest office.


What If You Haven’t Received an Update?

If you haven’t heard back within a reasonable time frame:


  • Check your my Social Security account for updates

  • Verify that all requested medical records and documents have been submitted to avoid delays
