Ways to Track Your Disability Application in Idaho

Create a “my Social Security” Account

The easiest and most efficient way to track your application is by setting up a my Social Security account at www.ssa.gov. This portal allows you to:

• Check the current status of your application
• See whether any documents are missing
• View any messages or requests from the SSA
• Update your contact information

Once logged in, go to the “Application Status” section to see real-time updates.

Call the Social Security Administration Directly

If you prefer to speak with someone, you can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can:

• Ask for the status of your claim
• Inquire about documents you may need to submit
• Get clarification on next steps

Be sure to have your Social Security Number and any correspondence from the SSA ready when you call.

Contact Your Local SSA Office in Idaho

You can also reach out to your nearest Social Security office for local assistance. Find the closest location using the SSA’s Office Locator Tool on their website. Many Idaho offices accept walk-ins, or you can schedule an appointment in advance.

Speak With a Disability Claims Examiner (If Applicable)

Once your claim reaches the Idaho Disability Determination Services (DDS) office, it may be assigned to a claims examiner. If you’ve received contact from an examiner, you can call them directly to ask:

• Whether additional information is needed
• How long the review might take
• If your medical records have been received

Always keep a record of who you speak to and what was discussed.

Tips to Stay on Top of Your Application

• Check the portal weekly to monitor progress and updates
• Respond promptly if the SSA requests additional documents
• Keep a folder with all copies of submitted forms and correspondence
• Track dates so you know when to follow up if there's a delay

Staying organized and proactive can prevent missed deadlines and boost your chances of approval.
