1. Use Your Online Social Security Account

The fastest way to check your SSDI benefit amount is by logging into your my Social Security account at SSA.gov. Once logged in, you can:

• View your current monthly benefit
• See past payment history
• Review your estimated future benefits

2. Review Your SSA Award Letter

When your SSDI claim is approved, the SSA award letter will state your monthly benefit amount and the date payments begin. Keep this document for your records.

3. Call the Social Security Administration

You can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778) to speak directly with a representative about your benefits. In Minnesota, you can also contact your local SSA office for assistance.

4. Check Your Bank Statements

If you receive SSDI via direct deposit, reviewing your bank statement can help confirm your benefit amount and payment schedule.

5. Consider Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA)

Your SSDI benefit may change each year due to COLA increases. Checking annually ensures you know your updated payment amount.
