Update on Our Reentry Plans
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: December 22, 2021
We want to give you an update on our preparations for returning our employees to local Social Security offices, a process called reentry.
You may have seen a proposed reentry date of January 3, 2022 in the draft reentry plan that we provided to our unions, or in the media. While some executives reentered on December 1, we have not set a reentry date for the rest of the agency.
The best way to reach us is online at SSA.gov, or by calling our National 800 Number or a local Social Security office. At this time, please remember that we can only provide in-person service by appointment only for limited, critical issues. And we continue to hold voluntary hearings by online video and phone. We are taking steps to increase in-person help for people unable to complete their business online or by phone.
We will keep you updated on our reentry process.

I am a retired military I here that we can draw extra social security is this true?
A.C.
Hi, Wilton. If you were in the active military service from 1957 through 1967, special extra earnings are added to your earnings record when you apply for Social Security benefits. If your active duty was after 1967, the extra earnings are already on your record. There are no special extra earnings credits for military service after 2001. For more information, please visit our Retirement Planner. We hope this helps.

I am unable to sign-in to my account, or to register (if that is necessary with this new website) because it is only available during SPECIFIC HOURS, not 24/7. This seems unusual for a website, let alone access to our Social Security accounts. Not everyone can conform to certain hours (I am presently outside of the country).
This does not seem to be an anomaly – in trying to sign-in, a window opens says that sign-ins cannot be processed outside of operating hours.

Hi, Deborah. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. To create a personal my Social Security account, you need a U.S. address. Since you are living outside of the U.S., you can contact your local Federal Benefits Unit for any assistance related to Social Security benefits. Also, our Office of International Operations home page provides more information to assist our customers living abroad. We hope this helps.

Hello I’m try to get copy of my sos card for my new apartment they said I have to have it like ASAP I just need a print out how can I get it this week please

A.C.
Hi, Sheila. First, realize that you may not need a replacement card. You will rarely need to show it. Knowing the Social Security number is what is important. To see if you’re eligible to apply for a replacement Social Security card online or to learn more on the process and what documents you will need to get a card please visit our a Social Security Number and Card page. If you need further assistance, please contact your local Social Security office. Please also be aware all answers from the Social Security Administration contain our official seal. If you do not see our seal on a post, it did not come from the Social Security Administration. We hope this helps.

Virginia W.
I am currently drawing ss benefits and survivor’s benefits. I am 64 years old. Can I apply for disability benefits now?
A.C.
Hi, Virginia. Disability benefits are paid to people who are unable to work because of a medical condition that is expected to last one year or more or end in death. For adults, we use a five-step evaluation process to decide whether you are disabled. We consider any current work activity you are doing, your medical condition, and how it affects your ability to work. If you think you are disabled, you can file for disability benefits. Since you are currently receiving benefits, you can call us to set up an appointment at 1-800-772-1213 from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. Monday through Friday or contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.
