Because email is not a secure medium, we do not use it to discuss confidential Social Security matters. We invite you to review Social Security Online's Privacy Policy . Our office serves the residents of 6 counties in the northwestern corner of the state - these include Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Sawyer, and Washburn. This area covers 6750 square miles bordering Lake Superior on the north, and the state of Minnesota on the west. Together they comprise the highest volume shipping port on Lake Superior.
Tourism is the major industry in the area after shipping.
We have another office in the area, in Duluth Minnesota. Here is a list of other agencies and organizations in our area which are available to assist you. When possible, we provide a link to their web site. Note, however, that we provide this contact information only as a referral service. These agencies and organizations are not affiliated with the Social Security Administration.
