Earlier this week, The White House issued national guidance regarding Opening Up America Again. We are evaluating this information as it relates to our agency and are continuing to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation across the nation. In fulfilling Social Security’s mission, when we reopen offices to the public, we will provide a safe environment for both the people we serve and our employees.

As we continue to develop our plans, our offices will remain closed to the public for face-to-face service, and our employees will continue to work remotely and provide services to the public. We will provide updates moving forward and post updated information on the status of our offices, by state, at our website. Our agency will provide these updates directly, and please disregard other sources of information regarding the status of our offices.

We will continue to provide the vital service the public relies on. Please visit our website for more information about our services during the pandemic.

    I recieve social security survivor benefits through direct deposit each month. I read that ssa survivor recipients have already recieved their stimulous payment. Why did social security not send the IRS my information?

    When are you going to open offices? We have to replace a child’s SS card and are not allowed to do it online. Card needed for driver’s license.

    Hello i am Linda, i rec’d SSI (disability benefit ) i don’t file income tax, has a direct deposit, do i need to do anything to receive the Covin 19 stimulus payment?

    • V.V.

      Hi Linda, thank you for using our blog. The Internal Revenue Service, which is part of the Department of Treasury, will be making Economic Income Payments to eligible people. Therefore, we do not have a schedule of these payments. You may find the IRS Get My Payment Frequently Asked Questions web page helpful.
