Whether you applied online, by phone, or in an office you can check the status of your disability and SSI hearing using your personal my Social Security account. A my Social Security account is an easy, convenient, and secure way to do business with us.
Do you NOT have an account yet?
Yes, I don't have an account yet.
In that case you can create one today.
Will do, after I sorted one more question. If I was to file an appeal for a review of a decision, can I do so by phone?
Yes, you can file an appeal by calling our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, or TTY 1-800-325-0778 or contacting your local Social Security office.
That's good, I would like a re-evaluation of my hearing, I think it is a lot worse than my doctor determined. Is it possible to request a hearing for a medical determination online?
Of course, you may request a hearing online.
Good to know. Back to my appeal, can I request one?
Yes, you may request an appeal. Generally you have 60 days after you receive the notice of our decision to ask for any type of appeal.
Splendid. And I can file a civil suit if I disagree, right?
