Social Security News Release

The Augusta Social Security office will relocate to its new location at Edmund S. Muskie Federal Building, 40 Western Avenue, Suite 209, Augusta, ME on Monday, November 20, 2023. Business operations at 330 Civic Center Drive, Suite 4, August, ME 04330, will end at close of business Friday, November 17, 2023.

Most Social Security services are available to the public online at www.socialsecurity.gov and with a my Social Security account, by telephone, or via in-person service.

Many Social Security services do not require the public to visit an office. Individuals may create their my Social Security account and personalize online service, at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Augusta residents may check personal information and conduct business with Social Security, such as requesting a replacement Social Security card online if they meet certain requirements. If an individual receives Social Security benefits, they can add or change direct deposit information online, request a replacement SSA-1099, print or download a current Benefit Verification Letter.

Individuals not yet receiving benefits can use their online account to get a personalized Social Security Statement, which provides earnings information as well as estimates of future benefits. Our website also includes a retirement calculator and links to information about other online services, such as applications for retirement, disability, and Medicare benefits.

Members of the public can learn more about many of our services by contacting us at 1‑800‑772‑1213. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call Social Security’s TTY number, 1‑800‑325‑0778.
