# How do I check my SSDI claim status?

The my Social Security account shows initial-claim status, reconsideration status, and hearing-request status once each level is filed.

**Direct answer:** You can check your SSDI claim status by signing in to your my Social Security account at ssa.gov/myaccount, calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213, or contacting your local SSA field office.

## What does my Social Security show?
The current step of your claim, key dates, and any pending actions the SSA needs from you.

## What if my claim is at the hearing level?
You can also check hearing-office status by contacting the specific hearing office assigned to your case.

## What if the status hasn't changed in a long time?
Contact the SSA to confirm your file is complete and that any consultative exams or record requests are on track.
