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.

      Hi Rob, thanks for using our blog. There are representatives handling the mail at the local offices. If you would like to check on the status of your paperwork, you can call the local office. Please look for the general inquiry telephone number at the Social Security Office Locator. The number may appear under Show Additional Office Information. Please be aware that our call wait times are longer than normal. We hope this information helps.

    Is there a way to apply for a new social security card even offices are closed? Please open up soon. New immigrant here. Enumeration at entry did not happen. Already on my 4th month here in the US and still cannot do much without social security number. I cannot start working without it. Already running out of resources. Please help!
