The Brief

    • A Social Security Administration list of offices not allowing in-person visits grew longer this week.
    • 13 offices across 12 states are affected by the temporary closures.
    • The SSA listed dates some offices would accept in-person visits, while others will be telephone-only until further notice.

The list of Social Security Administration (SSA) offices that will not be offering in-person service, at least temporarily, is growing a little longer in the coming weeks. 

Big picture view:

The SSA’s website showing closures and delays that affected in-person trips showed a few that went into effect this week. While people needing help may not be able to walk into those locations, they are able to get service over the phone from most of them.
