Closures or Delays Affecting In-Person Service
Local Social Security offices are offering more in-person appointments and have resumed in-person service for people without an appointment. As we expand in-person service, we strongly encourage you to continue to go online, call us for help, and schedule appointments in advance.
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.jsp.
