Teaneck: Important Message From The Social Security Administration

Press release from the Township of Teaneck:

July 1, 2020

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, the Social Security Administration wants people to know they remain ready and able to help our residents by phone with most Social Security matters.

Teaneck residents can speak with a representative by calling the local Social Security office at 1-866-964-4680.

Although the local office is not providing service for walk-in visitors, they may be able to schedule an appointment for limited, critical issues if they cannot help someone by phone and if they cannot get the information they need or conduct their business online.

Residents can call or take advantage of online services to:

· Apply for Retirement, Disability, and Medicare benefits,

· Check the status of an application or appeal,

· Request a replacement Social Security card (in most areas),

· Print a benefit verification letter, and

· Much more.

Most business with SSA can be done online but they know that many people still rely on phone or in-person help.

The Social Security Administration continues to extend deadlines wherever possible.
