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.

Please continue to send my statements by mail….

Hello Ruth, you can get your personal Social Security Statement online by using your my Social Security account. We mail paper Statements to workers age 60 and older three months before their birthday if they don’t receive Social Security benefits and don’t yet have a my Social Security account. Thanks!

I tried to check the status of my Medicare application. I have an account. I was getting the code 4 times. Every time I typed it in and every time I was rejected. What is wrong with checking my status? Thank you
Kelly S.
I am handling my husband’s appeal process, as he can not do so. I always have trouble getting to check his status. The questions have to do with credit lines and closed accounts that I am not familiar with – only he would have been, but he does not remember information like this. Is there an easier way to check his status using the 8 digit code that I was given. Please help.

My online account is not allowing me to request a benefit letter stating that I do not and have not received any benefits.
Also, I am not able to view my previous disability application and status.

Want to know how to apply for food stamps
Ann C.
Hi, John. For information about the food stamps program, also called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), you will need to contact your local SNAP office. You will also find a list of States that allow you to apply online. Thanks!

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. Thanks!

I received letter of my statement. It has a error on my ex’s birthdate. Should be 8/16/54.
Also received another letter that says I am not eligible for SSI. Not sure what this is. My status says approved. I’m confused.
