"I am so pleased to report that my first 'on site' visit with the SS Administration in Portland was a very positive one. Ms Kidder and Ms Small were very professional, friendly and informative."
David Nichols - January, 2020
"Called on three occasions with questions which were answered completely and in a very helpful manner. In all instances, the representatives were more friendly and courteous than most sales representatives I've spoken with (who want to sell me something, I don't really need). \n All the SS reps I've spoken with here and in Baltimore have made me feel that their goal was to ensure that I was happy and received the best help and results possible."
Jackie Augat - March, 2019

Which Social Security benefits am I eligible for?

How do I report a death?

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.

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.
