Question 1

What is SSA's uptime?

Accepted Answer

Over the last 90 days, SSA reported 95.83% uptime on its official status page. That figure is calculated from the public incident timeline at https://status.ssa.gov, each minute of degraded, partial-outage, or major-outage status counts against the total.

Question 2

Has SSA had outages in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SSA has had 10 incidents reported on its official status page so far in 2026. The full timeline (start times, durations, components affected) is shown above on this page. Pingoru re-checks the status page every 5 minutes so the count stays current.

Question 3

When was the last SSA outage?

Accepted Answer

The most recent SSA incident was "Interruption of Services on my Social Security Webapp", which started on October 18, 2026 and was resolved on October 18, 2026. Pingoru captured this directly from https://status.ssa.gov. See the full incident card above for affected components and the update timeline.

Question 4

How often does SSA have outages?

Accepted Answer

Based on the last 90 days, SSA averages 3.3 reported incidents per month on its official status page. Pingoru tracks each one with start time, duration, severity, and affected components: so you can see the pattern at a glance instead of digging through the vendor's archive.

Question 5

Where is SSA's status page?

Accepted Answer

SSA's official status page is https://status.ssa.gov. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on, so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.

Question 6

Is SSA down right now?

Accepted Answer

SSA is up. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment SSA reports a change. Current status is based on 2 tracked services.

Question 7

How does Pingoru know if SSA is down?

Accepted Answer

We read https://status.ssa.gov directly, using SSA's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle, not after someone manually marks the page as down.

Question 8

Where can I get notified when SSA has an outage?

Accepted Answer

Create a free Pingoru account and add SSA as a monitor. You can filter to specific services, pick severity thresholds, and route alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Question 9

SSA's status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Three common reasons:

• A real SSA incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet, vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes.
• A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers. These rarely trigger a global status-page change.
• A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate.

If you suspect a real SSA issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.

Question 10

Where does Pingoru get the official SSA status?

Accepted Answer

We use SSA's own status page at https://status.ssa.gov and cross-reference their homepage (https://www.ssa.gov). Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public. We use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.

Question 11

What does "Up" mean?

Accepted Answer

All tracked SSA components are reporting operational. No incidents are currently affecting service.
