How to find your office
- Open the locator. Go to ssa.gov/locator.
- Enter your ZIP code. The locator shows the office that serves your ZIP code, with its address, phone number, hours, a map and directions.
- Make an appointment. Call 1-800-772-1213 or use Social Security's online appointment page. Ask whether a phone appointment will work.
- Check for closures. Offices can close for smoke, fire or storms. Social Security posts closings on its emergency page.
The office that serves you is set by ZIP code, so use the locator rather than driving to the nearest building you know.
What you can do without going in
- Apply for Medicare at ssa.gov, if you're within three months of 65

- Apply for Extra Help with Part D drug costs

- Ask Social Security to review an IRMAA surcharge after a life change such as retirement
What to bring if you go
- A photo ID and your Social Security number
- Your Medicare card, if you have one
- For Part B sign-up after employer coverage, the completed forms and your employer's statement of coverage
