Once your claim is accepted for SSD, the average processing time from the date of decision is 90-120 days. As you are beyond that time period I recommend that you contact your local office and request a status; they can forward a high priority email to the payment center to request a status update and a phone call to you providing you the requested information. You may also try this advice with the national SSA phone number 1 800 772 1213. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact me at [email protected].
