Last Updated: February 21, 2023

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.

    FYI just read we all will have to file tax return in order to receive stimulus. So freakin stupid why they just can’t use Social Security data to send is beyond me. Way to complicate things. Probably hoping most won’t do it. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know

    The Democrats are trying to pass a law to make everyone wear masks, This is only half of the solution….The ugly half (demoncrats) should be required to hide their shame….but since Republicans are all good looking this is a moot point. …NOW! here is the solution to the Plosie problem, she got 25 million of our taxes for the Kennedy Center which now will no longer pay their musicians and no one can attend events there because of social isolations…SO! President Trump should use his War Powers to aquire the Kennedy Center and make it a hospital or homeless shelter, let’s see what the Dems whine about now.

      I just read this and was about to post. It’s confusing due to income restrictions being on SSDI. When toy file for the 2019 year, you’re told not to file because you don’t meet the income requirement for filing.

    IF YOU ARE BEING CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING THE $1200 CHECK WHOEVER IS CLAIMING SOMEONE IS GETTING $500 EXTRA PER CHILD BUT IT SPECIFICALLY SAID CHILD SO THATS THE ONY EXTRA MONEY YOU CAN HOPE FOR IF YOU ARE ON SSI AND BEING CLAIMED AS AN ADULT. WHOEVER CLAIMS YOU MIGHT GET AN EXTRA $500 FOR YOU BUT THATS THEIR MONEY NOT YOURS THATS WHY ITS NOT A GOOD THING TO LET ANOTHER ADULT CLAIM YOU IF YOU CAN HELP IT.
