Ways to Check SSDI Claim Status in Florida

Florida residents have several options to track their SSDI applications:

1. Online Through the SSA Website

• Visit the Social Security Administration (SSA) portal at ssa.gov/myaccount.
• Log in or create a “my Social Security” account.
• Check your claim status, including whether it’s pending, approved, or denied.

2. By Phone

• Call the SSA directly at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
• Agents are available Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Have your Social Security number and application details ready.

3. Through Your Local SSA Office

• Florida has local Social Security field offices where you can request status updates in person.
• It’s best to call ahead for office hours or schedule an appointment.

4. Through Your Disability Attorney

• If you are represented by an attorney, they can check your case updates directly.
• Attorneys also receive copies of important notices, so you won’t miss deadlines.

How Often Should You Check Your SSDI Claim?

While it’s tempting to check every day, it’s usually best to:

• Check once every few weeks for updates.
• Review more frequently if you submitted new medical records or if your case is at the hearing stage.
• Always read any mail from the SSA carefully, as it may require action.

Why Tracking Your SSDI Claim Matters

Monitoring your SSDI claim ensures that:

• You don’t miss deadlines for appeals.
• You confirm the SSA received all required documentation.
• You stay aware of any requests for additional information.
