How do I check the status of my Social Security disability claim ?You may check the status of your Social Security disability or SSI disability claim by contacting your local Social Security office by phone or in person. Additionally, you may get information about your disability claim (SSD or SSI) by calling the toll free Social Security number 1-800-772-1213, though it has been often been reported that the toll free line regularly reports status information that is incorrect. Another means by which you may check the status of your social security disability or SSI claim is by contacting the state agency that is processing your claim. In most states, this agency is known Disability Determination Services, or DDS. By contacting DDS (you may obtain the number for this agency by contacting the social security office where you filed your claim), you may speak to the disability examiner who will actually decide if your disability claim is to be approved or denied. The state disability examiner may not inform you of any decision regarding your claim (assuming a decision has been made by the time you call). However, the examiner may be able to update you on the processing status of your case (for instance, if medical records are still waiting to be received from one of your doctors or hospitals).
