The Social Security Field Office

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Social Security field offices are the public face of Social Security. Most individuals who have to contact with Social Security will do so at their local Social Security field office.

Field offices provide a wide range of services for the public. Currently, field offices complete applications for new Social Security cards as well as card replacement services for both Social Security and Medicare. Social Security field office personnel complete applications for Social Security disability, Supplemental Security Income disability (SSI), retirement, and survivor applications (i.e. widow/widower, surviving children).

The social security office is often the first point of contact for applicants. However, individuals who are applying for disability should keep in mind the fact that after a disability claim has been filed, calling the social security office to check the status of the disability claim will not be very helpful. This is because after the claim is taken in a field office, it is transferred to disability determination services where a disability examiner will begin the work required to make a disability determination.
