Correcting the Record about Social Security Office Closings
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: April 18, 2025
Recent reports in the media that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is permanently closing local field offices are false. Since January 1, 2025, the agency has not permanently closed or announced the permanent closure of any local field office. From time to time, SSA must temporarily close a local field office for reasons such as weather, damage, or facilities issues, and it reopens when the issues are resolved. The agency has announced the permanent closure of one hearing office, in White Plains, NY.
SSA works closely with local congressional delegations before closing any office permanently. The agency also reassigns employees from an affected office to other locations to help communities access in-person services.
“SSA is committed to providing service where people need help and our local field offices are no exception,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “We have not permanently closed any local field offices this year.”
SSA identified for the General Services Administration underutilized office space to ensure the government is spending taxpayer money as prudently as possible. The agency provided GSA a list of sites for termination. Most of these are small hearing rooms with no assigned employees. Since most hearings are held virtually, SSA no longer needs these underutilized rooms.

I have received numerous notifications on office closures since late last week. Now I see on the SSA website that several offices state the following…
“The following Social Security office is only able to provide assistance by telephone until further notice. There is no in-person service:
NAME/OFFICE CODE”

My question is, are SSA offices closing now??? Others have already been closed/moved to locations that do not make sense for the beneficiaries (not near a bus line, no accessible parking, too small to hold more than a few people, etc.).
Money is being saved, but it’s not really being saved, and the people who matter (the taxpayers) can’t access services. Even a little bit of truth at this point would be very helpful.
