SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE

Social Security remains committed to providing uninterrupted benefits and vital services the public relies on, especially during the current coronavirus pandemic.  Despite challenges government and businesses face at this time, Social Security wants people to know they remain ready and able to help  by phone with most Social Security matters. 

Local community members who live in ZIP Codes 07416, 07418 – 19, 07422, 07428, 07439, 07460 – 62, 07821 – 22, 07826 – 27, 07837, 07839, 07843, 07848, 07851, 07855, 07860, 07871, 07874 – 75, 07877, 07879, 07881, and 07890 may speak with a representative by calling the local Newton Social Security office at 1-877-575-5189 or our National 800 Number at 1-800-772-1213 (1-800-325-0778 TTY).  For people who live in other parts of the area, Social Security provides local office phone numbers conveniently online Social Security Office Locator, at www.ssa.gov/locator.

Although the offices are not providing service for walk-in visitors, they may be able to schedule an appointment for limited, critical issues if someone needs help that cannot be provided by phone or online.

Most business with SSA can be done online but we know that many people still rely on phone or in-person help.  That’s why we want people to know they can still count on us by phone.

Lastly, Social Security knows that getting medical and other documentation can be difficult due to the pandemic.  The deadlines continue to be extended wherever possible.
