How to Track Your Disability Claim

1. Create or Use Your My Social Security Account

The most efficient way to track your disability claim is through the Social Security Administration’s online portal.

• Visit www.ssa.gov and log in to your My Social Security account.
• From your dashboard, you can:
• View the current status of your application
• Check for missing documents or additional requests
• See any recent updates or changes to your claim

Tip: Make sure your contact information is up to date to receive alerts.

2. Call the Social Security Administration

If you prefer speaking to someone or can’t access your account:

• Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.).
• Have your Social Security number and application reference number ready.
• You can ask about:
• The current step in the review process
• Any required documents or deadlines
• Estimated timelines for a decision

3. Contact Your Local SSA Office in Kansas

You can also track your claim by contacting your nearest Social Security field office. Staff can assist with updates and help resolve issues.

• Use the SSA Office Locator on the website to find your closest Kansas office.
• Call ahead to schedule an appointment if you prefer an in-person visit.
