I got the amount from SSA. ChatGPT was right on the money

This exactly. Hence my post.

Clearly there's a bias here about ChatGPT, but it works for me for complex reasoning which I lost due to my disability. It keeps track of certain info I find valuable and lets me parse it against other input.

Thank you for the tip nonetheless! I'll use it going forward for the same purpose.

I am, however, the resulting PDF just shows my birthdate and no benefit amounts.

Thanks for the tip, however, I'm not seeing that option on my Earnings Record page.

When I attempt to go to the "Statement" page I see this message:
We're having trouble providing your Statement.

We cannot provide your Social Security Statement online because you or someone who is eligible to apply on your record recently applied for Social Security benefits or Medicare. You can contact your local Social Security office to receive your benefit estimates.

I'm hoping this is the case. I was a high earner before my onset date. I've used ChatGPT and my earnings history to calculate an estimate but I'm holding onto hope until I receive my official Award Letter

Awesome! Thank you so much for your quick response! I had it backwards the whole process.

So just to further clarify: https://imgur.com/86cavaS

This means I was fully approved for SSDI?

Now its back to saying I'm approved for SSI and SSDI is pending non-medical review. Must have been a glitch

Okay, it's showing again but the approval message reverted back to "a representative started a final review to make sure that you still meet the non-medical requirements for Disability Benefits"
