Ways to Check Your Disability Claim Status in Nevada

Use Your SSA Online Account

The fastest and most convenient way to check your claim status is through the SSA’s online portal.

• Go to www.ssa.gov/myaccount
• Log in to your account (or create one if you haven’t already)
• Navigate to “Disability” or “Application Status”

Your account will show:

• Date your application was received
• Current step in the review process
• Documents received or still needed
• Estimated decision timeline

Tip: Make sure your contact information is up to date in your SSA profile so you don’t miss important updates.

Call the Social Security Administration Directly

If you prefer speaking to someone or can’t access your online account, call the SSA:

• 1-800-772-1213
• Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Have your Social Security number ready, along with any confirmation or claim number you received when applying.

Visit Your Local Nevada SSA Office

You can also check your claim status in person at a local SSA office in Nevada. Offices are located in cities like Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and others.

• Bring a valid photo ID and your application reference number.

To find the nearest office, use the SSA office locator at secure.ssa.gov/locator.

How Long Does It Take to Receive a Decision in Nevada?

While timelines vary, initial decisions typically take 3 to 6 months. However, Nevada’s Disability Determination Services (DDS) may request:

• More medical documentation
• Additional forms or questionnaires
• A consultative exam (CE) with a doctor

If there are delays or if your claim appears to be stuck, checking your status helps you follow up before problems arise.

What If There’s a Problem with Your Claim?

If your status hasn’t changed in a while or you see a request for documents you’ve already submitted:

• Call the SSA or your local DDS office in Nevada
• Confirm receipt of your documents
• Follow up in writing if needed to keep a paper trail
