Social Security Resumes In-Person Services

SocialSecurity

Statement of Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner: Social Security Administration to Resume In-Person Services at Local
Social Security Offices

Online Services and Telephone Remain Most Convenient Ways to Contact Agency

“I am pleased to announce that local Social Security offices will restore in-person services, including for people without an appointment, on April 7, 2022.

To avoid waiting in line, I strongly encourage people, who can, to use our online services at www.socialsecurity.gov, call us, and schedule appointments in advance rather than walking in without an appointment.  Phone appointments can save you a trip to a busy office.  I thank the public for your patience as we work to increase service.

Customers who walk in without appointments may encounter delays and longer waits at our offices.  Be aware that our offices tend to be the busiest first thing in the morning, early in the week, and during the early part of the month, so people may want to plan to visit at other times.

Given that many of the people we serve have health vulnerabilities, and consistent with our union agreements, we are continuing to require certain safety measures including masking, physical distancing, and self-health checks for COVID-19 symptoms.  We will provide masks to the public and employees if they need them. 

Thoughtful planning and preparation have shaped our process to restore in-person services.  Social Security employees are dedicated to serving the public, and we are ready to welcome the public back to our offices.  Our local managers understand and can address the needs of their communities.  We have also implemented office-to-office support as well as brought recently retired employees back to assist the public.  We thank the many interested stakeholders including the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Community Living and national advocate organizations for your help.

Throughout the pandemic, millions of people have used our secure and convenient online services and received help by phone.  People who have access to the internet should first try our online services before calling us or visiting an office.

As we transition to a new modern phone system, some people may experience a busy signal or be unintentionally disconnected from their call.  We sincerely regret this disruption and recommend people call when our National 800 Number may be less busy, such as before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. local time or later in the week.  Like our offices, our waits are generally shorter later in the month.

To learn more, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/coronavirus/gethelp/ and www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices/.”

Additional Information

Most Social Security services are available to the public online at www.socialsecurity.gov and with a my Social Security account, or by telephone.  And most Social Security services do not require the public to take time to visit an office. People may create their my Social Security account, a personalized online service, at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

 

People who set up their my Social Security account have access to additional personalized services.  They can request a replacement Social Security card online if they meet certain requirements.  If they already receive Social Security benefits, they can start or change direct deposit online, request a replacement SSA-1099, and if they need proof of their benefits, they can print or download a current Benefit Verification Letter from their account.

People not yet receiving benefits can use their online account to get a personalized Social Security Statement, which provides their earnings information as well as estimates of their future benefits.  The portal also includes a retirement calculator and links to information about other online services, such as applications for retirement, disability, and Medicare benefits.

Many Social Security services are also conveniently available by dialing toll-free, 1‑800‑772‑1213.  People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call Social Security’s TTY number, 1‑800‑325‑0778.

STATEMENT IN SPANISH:

La Comisionada Interina, Kilolo Kijakazi, declaró: La Administración del Seguro Social reestablecerá los servicios en persona en las oficinas locales del Seguro Social

Los servicios por internet y por teléfono siguen siendo las formas más convenientes de comunicarse con el Seguro Social

«Me complace anunciar que las oficinas locales del Seguro Social restablecerán los servicios en persona, incluso para personas sin cita previa, comenzando el 7 de abril de 2022.

Para evitar hacer fila, les recomiendo a las personas que pueden usar nuestros servicios por internet en www.segurosocial.gov, llamarnos y programar citas con anticipación en lugar de presentarse a la oficina sin una cita. Las citas telefónicas pueden ahorrarle un viaje a una oficina ocupada. Agradezco al público por su paciencia mientras trabajamos para aumentar el servicio.

Los clientes que entran a nuestras oficinas sin citas pueden encontrar demoras y esperas prolongadas. Tenga en cuenta que nuestras oficinas tienden a estar más ocupadas en las primeras horas de la mañana, a principios de la semana y durante la primera parte del mes, por lo que es posible que las personas opten por planificar visitas en otros momentos.

Dado que muchas de las personas a las que servimos tienen vulnerabilidades de salud y, conforme a nuestros acuerdos con el sindicato, continuamos requiriendo ciertas medidas de seguridad que incluyen mascarillas, distanciamiento físico y auto evaluaciones de salud para detectar síntomas de COVID-19. Proporcionaremos mascarillas al público y a los empleados si las necesitan.

La planificación y preparación cuidadosa han dado forma a nuestro proceso para reestablecer los servicios en persona. Los empleados del Seguro Social están comprometidos a servir al público y estamos listos para darle la bienvenida en nuestras oficinas. Nuestros gerentes locales entienden y pueden acomodar las necesidades de sus comunidades. También hemos implementado apoyo de oficina a oficina y recientemente reintegramos empleados jubilados para asistir al público. Agradecemos a los varios grupos de interés, incluyendo a la Administración para la Vida Comunitaria del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos y las organizaciones nacionales de defensa por su ayuda.

Durante la pandemia, millones de personas han utilizado nuestros servicios por internet seguros y convenientes, y han recibido ayuda por teléfono. Las personas que tienen acceso a internet primero deben intentar usar nuestros servicios por internet antes de llamarnos o visitar una oficina.

A medida que hacemos la transición a un nuevo sistema moderno de teléfono, algunas personas pueden experimentar una señal ocupada o ser desconectadas involuntariamente de su llamada. Lamentamos sinceramente esta interrupción y recomendamos que las personas llamen cuando nuestro número nacional 800 esté menos ocupado, como antes de las 10 a.m. o después de las 4 p.m. hora local o más tarde en la semana. Al igual que nuestras oficinas, nuestras esperas por lo general son más cortas a finales de mes.

Para informarse mejor, por favor visite www.segurosocial.gov/coronavirus/obtenerayuda y www.segurosocial.gov/serviciosporinternet».

Información adicional

 

La mayoría de los servicios del Seguro Social están disponibles para el público por internet en www.segurosocial.gov y con una cuenta my Social Security, o por teléfono. Y la mayoría de los servicios del Seguro Social no requieren que el público se tome el tiempo para visitar una oficina. Las personas pueden crear su cuenta my Social Security, un servicio personalizado por internet, en www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount (solo disponible en inglés).

Las personas que configuran su cuenta my Social Security tienen acceso a servicios personalizados adicionales. Pueden solicitar una tarjeta de reemplazo de su número de Seguro Social por internet si cumplen con ciertos requisitos. Si ya reciben beneficios de Seguro Social, pueden comenzar o cambiar el depósito directo por internet, solicitar un formulario de reemplazo SSA-1099, y si necesitan prueba de sus beneficios, pueden imprimir o descargar una carta actual de verificación de beneficios desde su cuenta.

Las personas que aún no reciben beneficios pueden usar su cuenta por internet para obtener un Estado de cuenta del Seguro Social personalizado, que proporciona información sobre sus ganancias, así como cálculos estimados de sus beneficios futuros. El portal también incluye una calculadora de jubilación y enlaces a información sobre otros servicios por internet, como solicitudes de beneficios por jubilación, por incapacidad y beneficios de Medicare.

Muchos servicios del Seguro Social también están disponibles para su conveniencia llamando al número gratuito 1-800-772-1213 (oprima 7 para español). Las personas sordas o con dificultades auditivas pueden llamar al número TTY del Seguro Social, 1-800-325-0778.
