Ways to Check Your Disability Application Status in Texas

1. Use Your My Social Security Account (Best Option)

The most efficient way to check your SSDI or SSI application status is through your My Social Security online account.

Steps to check:

• Go to www.ssa.gov/myaccount
• Log in or create a free account
• Once logged in, select “Check Application Status”

You'll be able to see:

• The date SSA received your application
• The current stage of the process
• Any requests for additional information or documents
• Estimated timeframes for next steps

2. Call the Social Security Administration

If you prefer to speak with someone, you can call the SSA directly at:

• 1-800-772-1213
• (TTY: 1-800-325-0778)
• Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Be ready to provide:

• Your Social Security Number
• The date you applied
• Your confirmation number, if available

3. Visit Your Local SSA Office in Texas

You can also visit your local SSA field office. Use the SSA’s Office Locator to find the nearest location based on your ZIP code.

Bring with you:

• A valid photo ID
• Your application details or paperwork
• Any SSA letters or reference numbers

Note: Walk-in wait times can be long, so it’s best to schedule an appointment when possible.

What to Do While Waiting

While you wait for a decision:

• Continue attending medical appointments
• Keep copies of all documents you submit
• Respond quickly to any SSA requests
• Update the SSA if your address, phone number, or medical situation changes

Most initial decisions take about 3 to 6 months, but checking your status regularly helps you stay in control of the process.
