Does Social Security have an actual SSDI tracking app? Can't see if my application moved past stage one

After struggling with the same issues trying to track my SSDI application last year, I discovered Claimyr (claimyr.com). It's not an app, but it connected me directly with an SSA agent who could actually tell me where my application was in the process and confirmed they received my documents. Saved me weeks of anxiety! They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/Z-BRbJw3puU

There is NO official SSA app for disability tracking!! Anyone who told u that is wrong. The my social security account is all we got, and yeah it SUCKS for seeing whats happening with your application. Took mine like 3 weeks to even update from Stage 1 and then it sat at Stage 2 for like 2 months lol.

The MySocialSecurity portal is indeed the only official online platform for tracking your disability application. The stages you see there reflect the general processing phases, but these don't update in real-time. Two weeks is actually quite normal for the status to remain unchanged, especially considering mail processing time and the current backlog at most SSA offices. If you want to verify receipt of your documents, you have three options: 1. Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (be prepared for long wait times) 2. Contact your local SSA office directly 3. Schedule an in-person appointment at your local office Keep in mind that the initial application review process for SSDI typically takes 3-5 months, so even after confirming receipt, you may not see status updates for several weeks at a time.

OMG the Social Security system is SO broken when it comes to disability!! I've been dealing with them for over a year and STILL can't get straight answers. Their website is from like 2005 I swear and never updates properly. My status was stuck on stage 1 for like 6 weeks even though they were actively processing my case!!! I called SEVENTEEN TIMES before I got through to an actual person who could help. The whole thing is a nightmare designed to make people give up!!

To clarify some misinformation in this thread: The Social Security Administration does have a mobile app, but it's quite limited in functionality and doesn't provide detailed application tracking. It's called "Social Security Mobile" and is available in both app stores, but most people find the website more useful. Regarding your application status: The SSA processes applications in stages, and Stage 1 simply means they've sent you the initial paperwork. Once they receive your signed documents, it moves to Stage 2 (Initial Review). However, this transition can take 2-4 weeks due to mail processing and document scanning procedures. If you're concerned, I would suggest calling your local SSA office directly rather than the national number. The local offices typically have more immediate access to your file status. You can find your local office through the SSA website's office locator tool.

my application sat at stage 1 for like a month before anything happened lol. the whole system is super slow dont worry about it yet

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at my local office! They confirmed they received my paperwork a week ago but haven't uploaded it to their system yet. The representative said they're dealing with staffing shortages and everything is delayed. So my papers aren't lost, just sitting in a pile waiting to be processed. She said to expect at least 3-4 more weeks before the online status changes. Thanks everyone for your help!

@profile3 I was on hold for almost 2 hours before I got through! And that was after trying three different times over two days when I just got busy signals. It's ridiculous how hard it is to reach them. I might try that service next time if I need to call again. Two hours is a lot of my day to waste on hold.
