The Internet Benefit Claim Status will show you when your application was received, if additional documents were requested (e.g., Military Discharge papers, W-2s, birth records, etc.), and provides the address for the office that is processing your application. Once a decision has been made, a copy of your decision notice is available for you to view online. However, disability denial notices are not available for you to view online. Also, for some claims that were not filed via the Internet, notices may not be available for review online.

If you applied online for Social Security Retirement, Spouse’s, or Disability benefits you can check the status of your application now.
