The function of the Social Security office. There is no charge for the services of the office staff. This toll-free telephone number service is available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. any business day.
All calls are confidential.
If you live far away from the city or town in which the local office is located, our staff makes regular visits to outlying areas. We make visits to locations called contact stations. You can obtain a schedule of these visits from the nearest Social Security office. If necessary, a representative from our office will make a personal visit to your home if you are unable to visit the office because of illness or infirmity. We have regional offices headed by Regional Commissioners who are directly responsible for the Social Security offices located within a specified area.
