Use Your my Social Security Account

The most convenient way to check your disability status is through your personal my Social Security account:

• Sign in to your account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount.
• On the My Home page, scroll down to the Your Benefit Applications section.
• Click View Details under the More Info heading.
• In the Application Details section, you can see the current status of your application, including any updates or actions required.

If you don't have an account, you can create one for free on the same page.

Call the SSA National Helpline

If you prefer to speak with someone directly, you can call the Social Security Administration (SSA):

• Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET

When prompted, say “application status” to be directed to the appropriate department.
