Closures or Delays Affecting In-Person Service
We encourage you to go online, call us for help, and schedule appointments in advance. Please note that masks are only required when the COVID-19 hospital admission level where the office is located is high. Signage will indicate if masks are required. We will provide a mask if you do not have one. If you must visit an office, you can find out if the hospital admission level is high at the CDC’s COVID-19 by County webpage.
This webpage lists the small number of offices that temporarily:
- may provide service only by appointment due to construction, inability to permit people to wait outside the office, or other reasons.
- may be closed to the public.
To confirm the address of the office listed, enter the zip code provided below in our office locator at https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.
