All local Social Security offices will be closed to the public for in-person service starting Tuesday, March 17, 2020. This decision protects the population we serve—older Americans and people with underlying medical conditions—and our employees during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, we are still able to provide critical services.

Please read our press release to learn more, including how to get help from the Social Security Administration by phone and online. You can also visit our website to learn more and stay up to date.

    My social security deposit is for the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Today they deposited $40. That’s nowhere near my amount?? Will the rest go in tomorrow?

      Hi, Deborah. For your security, we do not have access to private information in this venue. We ask that members in our Blog community work with our offices with specific questions. You can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for assistance. Generally, you will have a shorter wait if you call later in the day. You can also contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.

    Prior to Coronavirus, any SS office can see anywhere in between 500 to 1000 walk-in customers a week. Just imagine that. They try extremely hard to address all concerns and to ensure that the program is administered in a fair and professional manner. Please remember that not only are they addressing the public face to face but also performing phone interviews 8 hours a day. On top of that, they are handling all the back end work. Most employees work well beyond their normal work hours as well as Saturdays when allowed. They are a group of caring, intelligent and fair people, Currently, because of Corona, the offices are closed to the public to protect everyone from this virus. However, they are still working, whether from home or in the back office. Under normal circumstances, (after Coronavirus dies down), if you cannot get through on the phone, you can always walk in and wait to be seen.

    • Ann C.

      Hi, Irene. Good news! You can file for disability online here. We hope this helps.

    • Kim

      Don’t reapply. If you were denied, you need to appeal the decision. If you reapply, you go back to square one.
