If you applied for Social Security benefits, or have a pending reconsideration or hearing request, you can check the status online using your free personal my Social Security account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one to see the following information about your claim:

• Date of filing.
• Current claim location.
• Scheduled hearing date and time.
• Re-entry numbers for incomplete applications.
• Servicing office location.
• Publications of interest, depending on the claim and current step in the process.

Use your personal my Social Security account to check the status of your application or appeal. If you have questions about retirement, disability, Medicare, or survivors benefits, as well as Supplemental Security Income, visit our Benefits page.

Please share this information with your family and friends – and post it on social media.

What is a my Social Security account?

Suze Orman on Why Creating an Account is Important

You can get your Social Security Statement (Statement) online by using your personal my Social Security account. If you don’t yet have an account, you can easily create one. Your online Statement gives you secure and convenient access to estimates for retirement, disability, and survivors benefits you and your family may be eligible for. It also shows your earnings history.

To set up or use your account to get your Statement, go to Sign In Or Create An Account.

We also mail paper Statements to workers age 60 and older 3 months before their birthday. This is if they don’t receive Social Security benefits and don’t yet have a personal my Social Security account. Workers who don’t want to wait for their scheduled mailing can request their Statement by following these instructions. The Statement will arrive by mail in four to six weeks.
