Coronavirus Pandemic: As of March 17, 2020, the local SSI offices will be closed to in-person appointments. You can do all business through the website or on the phone. Click here for more info.
Social Security will keep paying any benefits that you already get. They are warning people of a scam (fraud) that is falsely telling people that benefits are suspended or discontinued. If you get a letter or phone call saying this, do not believe them and do not give any personal information or send them anything. Click here for more on the scam.
