New York Social Security Office Notes

Social Security Card Centers
If you live in the Brooklyn or Queens area, you may need to go to a 'card center' instead of a 'field office'. Card centers are centralized processing sites for all Social Security number applications for area residents. You must visit a card center if you need a Social Security card, your personal information needs updating, or your employer asked you to visit a Social Security office.

For other needs (ex. applying for benefits) you may visit the field office listed above.

Physical distancing of at least 6 feet and masks are required. SSA will provide a mask if you do not have one. Fridays may be a bit less crowded. Try to get an appointment by phone first. You can do many things like signup for retirement benefits online at ssa.gov.
