Phone and Online Services — Your Alternatives
Even when local offices are closed — either on weekends, holidays, or due to special circumstances — the SSA provides several alternative channels to get help:
- Automated Phone Services
- Available 24/7, these services allow you to:
- Request benefit verification letters
- Check application status
- Request replacement cards
- Update contact information
These services are accessible even on federal holidays, though live representatives are not available during closures.
