6. Inspect the Status of Your Social Security Application
If you’ve already applied for Social Security benefits, you can easily check the status of your application. No phone calls, no rides—all you need is a computer with an internet connection in order to find out the status of your Social Security application.
When visiting your My Social Security account, the re-entry number for an online benefit application or appeal that has not been submitted will be available; the correct date the SSA received your application or appeal; the time and date of your upcoming hearing and where the processing of your current claim or appeal is located. Finally, this page will inform you if a decision has been reached regarding your case.
