Social Security Number Status Check

If you have applied for a Social Security number (SSN), you should receive a Social Security card in about 2 weeks. However, you may want to check your application status after 14 days have passed to see why it’s taking so long. In this article, we’ll take you through everything you can do to figure out what’s going on with your Social Security number application.

How To Check Your Social Security Number Application Status

You can check your Social Security number status through the following ways;

  • Contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 if it’s been more than 4 weeks since you applied. Applications are usually processed within 2 weeks.
  • If you can’t file for a card online, go to a Social Security office and present your approved documents and application receipt within 45 days to get your card.
  • Check your application status by signing into your online account here.
  • If you’re a non-citizen, apply for your work permit and Social Security number at the same time by filling out Homeland Security’s (USCIS) form I-765
