"I've found them to be exceptionally helpful. Even calling me on a Saturday to confirm some information."
Paul Mroczka - March, 2020
"I found the staff very professional, polite, and helpful.\nMy husband and I have had some mix-ups regarding SS, so I've been there several times.\nOnly on a Monday morning have I had to wait an hour.\nOther wait times have not been long at all. \nThis is the office for many other services, not just SS, so I implore people to be patient, bring water, please don't bring young children, stay in a positive frame of mind, and you will receive the support and answers you need."

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.
