The Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Kilolo Kijakazi, announced that the local Social Security field offices will reopen to the public on Thursday, April 7th. Masking and other Covid-19 protocols will be required for those visiting their local offices. Commissioner Kijakazi strongly encouraged people to call to make appointments: “I strongly encourage people, who can, to use our online services at www.socialsecurity.gov, call us, and schedule appointments in advance rather than walking in without an appointment. Phone appointments can save you a trip to a busy office. I thank the public for your patience as we work to increase service.”
