After applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), waiting for a decision can be stressful. Fortunately, applicants in Minnesota can track the progress of their disability claim easily through several official channels. Staying informed helps ensure you don’t miss important updates or requests from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.
Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Ways to Check Your Disability Status in Minnesota
1. Use the SSA’s Online Portal
The most convenient way to check your disability claim status is online through the my Social Security account:
- Visit ssa.gov/myaccount
- Log in or create an account
- View the status of your pending SSDI or SSI claim, including:
- Date of application
- Current step in the review process
- Office handling your case
- Any requests for additional documents
Tip: Set up alerts so you’re notified of updates immediately.
2. Call the Social Security Administration (SSA)
You can also get a status update by calling the SSA directly:
- National line: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778)
- Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Be prepared to provide your Social Security Number, birth date, and application confirmation number if available.
3. Contact Your Local SSA Office in Minnesota
You can visit or call your nearest Minnesota SSA field office. To find the closest location:
- Go to secure.ssa.gov/ICON
- Enter your ZIP code to get address, phone number, and office hours
Pro tip: Calling ahead or making an appointment can save time.
4. Speak with the Minnesota Disability Determination Services (DDS)
Once your application is submitted, it is sent to the Minnesota DDS for medical evaluation. You may contact them directly if you’ve already received confirmation that DDS is handling your case:
- They may provide insight into what stage your claim is in and whether additional medical information is needed.
What You’ll See in Your Claim Status
When checking your claim, you may see updates such as:
- “Received” – SSA has received your application
- “In Progress” – Under review by the DDS
- “Decision Made” – A decision has been issued
- “Notice Sent” – You’ll soon receive an approval or denial letter
It’s important to monitor your status and respond to any document requests as soon as possible.
