Coming Soon: Improved Check Your Application or Appeal Status Service
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 3, 2023
In December, Social Security will launch a new service for my Social Security account holders where the public can check on the status of an application for benefits or an appeal filed with us.
The service will provide detailed information about retirement, disability, survivors, Medicare, and Supplemental Security Income claims and appeals filed either online on our website or with a Social Security employee.
The ability to check your application status will be available online to everyone who has or opens a secure personal my Social Security account. You can open an account on our website.
The service will provide important information about your claim or appeal, including, as appropriate:
- Date of filing.
- Current claim location.
- Scheduled hearing date and time.
- Incomplete applications.
- Servicing office location.
- Claim or appeal decision.
If you are unable to open a personal my Social Security account, you can still call 1-800-772-1213 to check your claim status by using our automated system using the confirmation number you received when you filed your claim.
Providing our customers with more claim status information helps us meet our goal of delivering innovative, quality services to you and helping secure today and tomorrow.

Hello Colleen. Unfortunately, and because of security reasons we do not have access to personal records in this blog and cannot answer your question at this time. One of our representatives should be able to provide you with an explanation.
Please call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Generally, you will have a shorter wait time if you call later during the day or later in the week.
Just a reminder – We do not have access to personal information, therefore, we do not do direct messaging in this venue. Please be cautious about posting personal information on social media and communicating personal information via email. Thanks!

The “my social security” account is a joke. My wife applied for retirement benefits 3 months ago and the status always says “Processing.” Step 2 of 3, Benefit Application Pending.” You’d think you wouldn’t have to wait to see if money was deposited in the bank to find out if your application was approved.
How is this “Improved Check Your Application or Appeal Status Service?!”

This process needs an upgrade. As an appointed representative for several claimants, I absolutely dread trying to check on the status of their claims. It takes too long. I get asked some very obscure security questions that I cannot find anywhere in order to prepare the answers and are NOT a part of the application I filled out for the claimant. Another example of a bloated government agency wasting tax payer dollars without providing any service!
