Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be a lengthy process, and it’s important to know what to expect. In Wyoming, like in other states, the time it takes to get approved for disability benefits can vary based on several factors, including the strength of your application, medical evidence, and whether you need to go through the appeals process.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Initial Application Timeline
Once you submit your SSDI application, the initial decision typically takes 3 to 6 months. During this stage, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews your medical records, work history, and eligibility.
To avoid delays, make sure your application is complete, accurate, and includes all necessary medical documentation.
If You’re Denied and File an Appeal
If your initial application is denied (which happens to a majority of first-time applicants), the timeline can extend significantly:
- Reconsideration: This takes an additional 2 to 4 months.
- Hearing with an Administrative Law Judge: If reconsideration is denied, you can request a hearing, which may take 8 to 12 months or longer to be scheduled.
- Further Appeals (if needed): Can add several more months or even years to the process.
Factors That Can Affect the Timeline
Several elements can influence how long it takes to get disability benefits in Wyoming:
- Completeness of your application
- Availability of your medical records
- Whether you need to go through appeals
- SSA workload and backlogs
- Complexity of your medical condition
