Social Security Administration Launches Redesigned Website at SSA.gov

Starting today, visitors to SSA.gov will experience a fresh homepage and a new design to help them find what they need more easily.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a national network of approximately 1,230 local field offices and 164 local hearing offices. In addition, we have 10 regional offices, 5 National Hearing Centers, 8 centralized processing centers, 45 National Case Assistance Centers, the Appeals Council, and 24 teleservice centers that you can reach by calling our national toll-free number, below. Our national headquarters is near Baltimore, Maryland.

We administer the Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) programs. We will answer questions about those programs on the telephone. Informational booklets can be obtained at www.ssa.gov or upon request. Go to https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/home!readform to access the Social Security policy manual, called the Program Operations Manual System (POMS).

CONTACTING SOCIAL SECURITY

We are available to assist you by telephone, mail, or at www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/ through the internet.

Our toll-free number is 1-800-772-1213. Teleservice representatives are on duty to answer your calls between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Recorded information and services are available 24 hours a day and on weekends.

Spanish speaking representatives are available to speak with callers who prefer to do business with us in Spanish. In addition, if you contact the local SSA field office (FO) or call the 1-800 number, you may request an interpreter to communicate with us, which we will provide at no cost. We have telephone interpreter services in more than 120 languages and dialects. Interpreters are available immediately, with no appointment necessary.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, we will take your telecommunications relay services (TRS) assisted calls at 1-800-772-1213. If you prefer, you may call Social Security's toll-free TTY-TDD number at 1-800-325-0778 from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

If you need assistance that is not available via our online services, the fastest way to obtain service is to contact us by telephone through the toll free number. Our representatives can answer most questions. If an additional interview is necessary, we can make an appointment for you with a local FO at a time convenient for you.

If you are applying for SSI disability benefits, we will send you an Adult Disability Starter Kit, or a Child Disability Starter Kit, if you are applying for a child. Both kits are available in Spanish. The Starter Kits, which are also available on our website, will help you prepare for your interview. The kits provide a fact sheet that answers questions about the disability program, a checklist of items you will need to pursue your claim, and a worksheet for you to use to prepare for some of the questions we will ask you at your interview.

We can schedule most interviews either by telephone at a local Social Security office. If you do not want to wait for a scheduled appointment, you may visit any Social Security office and we will serve you as quickly as possible.

When you call or visit us, note the name of any representative you speak with and the date of contact. Put your name and Social Security number on written correspondence with us and keep a copy for your records.
