The Social Security Administration has temporarily closed 11 field offices around the country. Some temporary closures are due to scheduled maintenance and have reopen dates.
Field offices are the "retail" offices of the administration, where people can walk-in or make an appointment for basic services including applying for new and replacement Social Security cards and applying for benefits. Medicare beneficiaries can also get help applying for extra assistance paying for their prescription drugs.
Beneficiaries previously serviced by these locations are directed to call the main number, 1-800-772-1213 or TTY 1-800-325-0778, to receive assistance.

Locations of temporarily closed Social Security offices
The following Social Security offices will temporarily stop all in-person service until further notice. Assistance will still be available by telephone until 4pm. Reopening information has not been posted for most of the locations. This list will be updated on a regular basis to keep you up-to-date on any additions to the list and which offices have resumed in-person services.
I have included the direct number for each office for future use. As of today, the numbers are still in use but dead end after a few menu selections; a recorded message encourages callers to use the ssa.gov web site to get the information and services they need.
Before you venture out to your local office, visit the SSA's Office Closings and Emergencies web page to check the status of any closures or other delays that might affect in-person services.
