NEW OFFICE HOURS FOR SSA

Social Security district offices (also called "field offices") will begin closing to the public each Wednesday at noon beginning January 2, 2013.  Local district offices in North Alabama have already been closing every day at 3:00 PM.  These changes are an attempt to deal with a hiring freeze and budget restrictions within the Social Security Administration.  Hopefully, the changes will be temporary, as they will have a negative impact on the agency's ability to serve the public.

As an alternative to visiting a Social Security field office, you may try one of the following:

Internet service at www.socialsecurity.gov

A phone call to 1-800-772-1213

Hearing offices (ODARs) should not be affected by the new hours.  If you have a hearing scheduled, it should be held as scheduled - even if it is scheduled when a district office is closed.

If our office can be of help to you in a Social Security disability claim - please contact us without cost or obligation:
