Hello,

I have been awaiting a decision on my SSD application. I have not received a decision letter yet. But today I received a letter containing a Temporary Password Code (PRC)for accessing my SSD information online. The letter states,

"If you are a new beneficiary, please make sure you have received your notice of benefit payment or your first payment before you try to register a password."

Can I assume that I have been approved, since the letter seems to implies that I am a new beneficiary? I tried to find out by calling SS but they are closed today. I also went online and checked my application status and it says that a decision has been made but it doesn't say whether or not I was approved. The automated phone system wont' give me this information either. It tells that I must speak to a rep to get this information.

Can I go ahead and try to register a password, on the assumption that my notice of benefit payment is probably in the mail? I'm hoping that by registering a password I can go online and see if I have in fact been approved.

Any thoughts?
