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.

    I was just looking at my SSI amounts that I will be receving at 66 and 70. I check every month but have never seen that message. I noticed it said I am receiving Medicare Benefits but I am not, I had to sign up when I turned 66. It said this is how they declare how much money I will be getting. Can you please help me with this.
