Local Social Security Office Phone Number

Most states have several social security office phone numbers that are located near your place of residence, along with the social security office which processes state-filed claims, issues social security cards, and answers questions pertaining to social security information. Much of what you can do regarding your social security file can be done online, or you can call your local social security office phone number and discuss any problems you are having with a customer representative. While some of the information is automated, you may have to wait a few minutes when calling by phone for a service representative to help you, since the amount of calls they receive is enormous and case management time varies greatly.

Your social security office phone numbers will consist of two numbers. One will be a toll-free 800 or 888 number, and the other will consist of the area code and regional number. When you call your social security office, make sure you have your social security number handy, along with your case number (if you have one pending), and any other pertinent information you think may be needed to facilitate the processing of your case. If there are any changes regarding your personal information, such as change of residence, change in income, or if the amount of household members has been modified, you will need to call your social security office and report these changes. Failure to do so may result in your case being delayed, denied or you could face prosecution for fraud. 

By calling social security, you will have access to the status of your case, if any other paperwork is needed to continue processing your case, and how much money you may be entitled to, depending on whether you have applied for retirement benefits, survivor benefits, or SSI. They also have pre-recorded information available twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. However, a social security representative is always available between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday in case automated services cannot you with the problem you are having  

The Social Security Administration also have services which assist those who are deaf or hard of hearing by calling 1-800-325-0778. Pamphlets explaining various social security rules and regulations are also available at our local social security office and deal with subjects such as understanding your benefits, how working and earning an income may affect your social security benefit, and benefits for children with disabilities.
