Social Security & You
By Brandon P. Smith, Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
If you applied for Social Security benefits, or have a pending reconsideration or hearing request, you can instantly check the status online using your personal my Social Security account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one at ssa.gov/myaccount to see the following information about your claim:
- Date of filing
- Re-entry numbers for incomplete applications
- Current claim location
- Servicing office location
- Scheduled hearing date and time, if applicable
- Publications of interest, depending on the claim and current step in the process
Use your personal my Social Security account to instantly check the status of your application or appeal at ssa.gov/myaccount.
If you have questions about retirement, disability, Medicare, or survivors benefits, as well as Supplemental Security Income, visit our webpage at ssa.gov/benefits.
