Social Security disability fax: where to send medical records

Social Security disability fax: sending evidence and medical records

Checked against ssa.gov on November 11, 2026

Fax disability evidence and medical records to the number on the request letter from Social Security or your state Disability Determination Services. The letter with the barcode must be the first page of the fax (and first in front of each separate set of records), and one fax can’t be more than 200 pages.

How to fax it

Find the fax number on the request letter. Case at the hearing level? Contact that hearing office.
Put the barcode letter first, then the records it asks for.
Keep each fax to 200 pages or fewer. Split bigger files into several faxes, each starting with the barcode page.
Send it from dimefax.com/send.
Keep the delivered confirmation. Dimefax shows the date and time it went through.

Tips

Medical providers and representatives can also upload with SSA’s Electronic Records Express, using the same barcode.

Dimefax costs 10¢ a page and you’re only charged if the fax goes through. On the web, page credits come in packs of 50 for $4.99, 100 for $9.99 or 200 for $19.99; the Dimefax iPhone app also sells 10 for $0.99. Credits you don’t use stay in your account and last as long as you fax once a year.

Where these numbers come from

Social Security: Electronic Records Express FAQ (faxing evidence)

Dimefax isn’t part of, or endorsed by, the Social Security Administration. We copied these numbers from ssa.gov on November 11, 2026. Agencies change their numbers: if your letter, notice or form gives a different one, use that.

Questions

What fax number do I use for Social Security disability?

The one printed on your request letter from SSA or Disability Determination Services. There’s no single national disability fax.

Why does the barcode page go first?

SSA uses the barcode to file the pages into the right claim. Without it first, the records may not reach your file.
