You Know Where to Find Us (Because We Make It Easy)
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: November 6, 2023
For 80 years, Social Security has been there for you and your family when you need us most. And, finding us at our field offices, where you can speak with an employee face-to-face, is easier than ever!
Our handy Field Office Locator is accessible from your computer and mobile device. On the website, you can enter your zip code to find the address, phone number and hours of the Social Security office closest to you. You can also use this tool to see a map and get directions; if you’re on your mobile device, it will even give you turn-by-turn directions.
Since you are already online, you could skip the traffic and lines by taking advantage of our other online features, too. Check out What You Can Do Online, where you’ll find that many of our services are just a click away!
For example, you use the Retirement Estimator to estimate future benefits, apply for Social Security benefits online and sign up for a personal my Social Security account. Setting up a personal my Social Security account is convenient and secure. You’ll have access to your Social Security Statement, and if you already receive benefits, you can view and print your verification letter and manage your benefits.
Some people prefer doing business in person, though, and that’s why our offices are there! Our employees are passionate about providing you with the best service possible, and we’re proud of our long history of doing so. When you visit us, whether in person or online, we’re always ready to help!

You show the toll free phone hours as 7 am to 7 pm but don’t say what time zone. Eastern would seem most logical, is this correct?

I am trying to make an appointment because I have a problem with my reported income (it is missing for 2015). I received a call from the local office telling me that I have to bring paperwork to them, but they did not provide a local number or any way to set up an appointment. The website does not appear to have anything either.
What am I supposed to do?
A.C.
