With offices closed, the agency encourages the public to access services at www.ssa.gov/onlineservices/.

There is also a Frequently Asked Questions section at https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/.
If you already have an in-office appointment scheduled with the agency, they will call you to handle your appointment over the phone. Additionally, if you have a hearing scheduled, they will call you to discuss alternatives, including offering a hearing by phone. Please note that the call may come from a private number and not from a U.S. Government phone number. There are some scam calls making the rounds, so remember that Social Security employees will not threaten you or ask for any form of payment.
