Note: For health care-related claims, decision reviews, and appeals, check the information on your decision letter to find out how to check the status.

You can also check these details:

• Any evidence you’ve filed online to support your initial claim
• Any additional evidence we’ve requested from you
• Your claim, decision review, or appeal type
