"Warning: This location does NOT take walk-in's. Apparently the main office is not aware of this, as I was told to walk-in after calling the 800-number. Additionally, the security guard was the most unfriendly person in the office, so that was an excellent first impression. Definitely government-run."

"Nice people to work with. You go in and enter your name in on the screen and they call your number in turn. Very efficient running. The person that helped us was very pleasant and helpful."

"I had a very bad experience with this office. I applied SSN for the very first time on January 7th and got my card on 15th February. It took one and half months to come to my adress. I faced enormous difficulty to view /rent appartments because in every place they asked for my card. I called several times and finally the problem was solved. I dint expect this type of harrassment wit such a vital document that too in my frst time experience."

Navigating the Social Security Office during COVID-19
Today, applying for Social Security benefits or a card can usually be handled online or by phone, without
needing to make an appointment at your local Social Security office. We break down the answers to some of the
most frequently asked questions around navigating Social Security from home.
Which Social Security benefits am I eligible for?
Your Social Security income is made up of 3 potential benefits. Your earned benefit, your spousal
benefit and your survivor benefit. The eligibility for each of these benefits depends on a number of
factors including your income, marital status, and length of marriage.
Find out the benefits you are eligible for and what your income with our 2-minute quiz.
For most people applying for benefits, you can apply online or over the phone, and skip going to the office altogether. Use a checklist to ensure you have all the information and documentation you need to apply.
Funeral homes typically handle reporting of a death to the SSA.
However, you will need to provide the funeral home with the deceased’s Social Security number for them to do so. Note that deaths cannot be reported online.
If you want to report the person’s death yourself, call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
You also visit your local Social Security office in person.
Our guide on Social Security survivors benefits helps to navigate your options in order to make the most of what you are owed after a death.
If your Social Security card is lost or stolen, you can get a replacement card free of charge.
Log into—or create an account on —
My Social Security,
and you can apply directly there. However, you will need to provide original documentation in order to create an account.
Our guide explains what you need to replace the card.
What should I do if I get a call from a potential Social Security scammer?
Scam calls from Social Security have increased, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These fraudsters might claim there is a problem with your Social Security account, benefits, or number.
They will often solicit or demand some form of payment in exchange for resolving the problem.
If you receive a questionable call, hang up and immediately report the call directly to the
Office of the Social Security Inspector General.
As new scams emerge every day, it’s critical to stay informed of the latest scams in order to keep yourself and your finances safe online.
Read the summary above to see if you need to go in to the office. If you are looking to get answers
to questions but don’t need the office, check our FAQ.
You may need documents like your US passport, US birth certificate, Social Security card, divorce
decree or others.
