The US Social Security Administration has rolled out new online tools that let people track and manage disability claims and appeals through their personal my Social Security account.
- Claimants can now submit key disability adjudication forms — recent medical treatment, medication information and work background — directly online instead of by mail.
- A new Claim Status Tracker gives real-time updates at the hearings and appeals stages, including when a hearing request is received, reviewed and decided.
- 26 additional hearing-related notices, including proffer letters, are now available in the online Message Center, with optional email or text alerts when new documents arrive.
Why it matters: For people waiting on a disability decision, faster access to case updates and digital paperwork can cut down on phone queues and mailed forms during an often long and stressful process.
