Abstract: Application Status provides users with the capability to check the status of their pending Social Security claims either via the Internet or the National 800 Number Automated Telephone Service. Users need their Social Security number and a confirmation number to access this information. The Application Status shows users when SSA received the application, if we requested additional documents (e.g., military discharge papers, W2s, birth records, etc.), and provides the address for the office that is processing their application. Once SSA makes a decision on a claim, we post a copy of the decision notice online for the user to view. There are some exceptions to posting a copy online, such as disability denial notices (even if filed electronically) or claims that users did not file via the Internet, as we may not have those notices available for online review. Users access this application either via http://www.ssa.gov/onlineservices/ or through the National 800 Number. Respondents are Social Security claimants. We are submitting a Change Request to enhance the current Application Status system to give more information to the public when they request the status of their applications or claims.
