Before you go
- Make an appointment. SSA asks visitors to schedule before coming in. Call your local office number or 1-800-772-1213.
- Confirm the local hours. A few offices open or close at non-standard times, and some are temporarily closed for weather or building issues. Each office page shows that office's own weekly schedule.
- Many tasks don't need a visit. Replacement SSA-1099s, benefit letters, address and direct-deposit changes, and most card replacements can be done at ssa.gov.
