Decommissioning of the Electronic Social Security Protective Filing (eSPF) Tool
Date:
Dear Colleague,
To improve customer service and make more efficient use of our staff in our local offices, we are decommissioning the Electronic Social Security Protective Filing (eSPF) Tool, effective November 21, 2024. Your clients can learn about their filing options and express interest in filing for benefits at SSA.gov/apply, calling our National 800 Number, or contacting their local Social Security office.
We will continue to schedule appointments and take claims for individuals who used the eSPF tool before its decommissioning.
For more information about benefits, you and your clients can visit our Benefit types webpage.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication in assisting people in need. Please share this update with your members, colleagues, and affiliates to ensure a smooth transition.
Sincerely,
Dawn Bystry
Associate Commissioner
