Are Social Security Offices Open for Walk-Ins?

Yes — most Social Security Administration (SSA) offices accept walk-in visitors, but wait times can be long. Appointments are strongly recommended to avoid waiting several hours.

SSA Walk-In Hours (2026)

Most SSA field offices are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM local time. Some offices close early on Wednesdays. Hours vary by location.

  • Walk-ins are accepted but appointments get priority
  • Bring a valid photo ID, Social Security card, and any relevant documents
  • Call 1-800-772-1213 to schedule an appointment or find your local office
  • Many services are also available at ssa.gov without visiting in person

What Can You Do at an SSA Office?

  • Apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or SSI
  • Check the status of your disability claim
  • Submit appeal paperwork (SSA-561, SSA-3441)
  • Get a replacement Social Security card
  • Update your personal information
  • Report changes in income or living situation
