Hi Jessica,

I'm sorry, but if you've applied for benefits there's probably no way to speed up a decision on your claim. It generally takes several months for Social Security to reach a determination on whether or not a person qualifies for disability benefits, so there's probably not much you can do except wait. You could try contacting the office of your U.S. congressional representative or one of your U.S. senators, but it's doubtful if even they could speed up the processing of your claim. Also, you may want to double check with Social Security to make sure that there's nothing else they need you to do.

Best, Jerry
