Social Security is here to help! So can you.
Dear Community Partner,
Social Security remains committed to providing uninterrupted benefits and vital services the public relies on, especially during the current coronavirus pandemic. As an important part of the community, I am asking for your help to share important information with your community members and partners in the local area, by displaying the attached posters in your office, or on your website and social media, and sending them electronically to your network of community contacts. Despite challenges government and businesses face at this time, we want people to know we remain ready and able to help them by phone with most Social Security matters.
Local community members may speak with a representative by calling the local New Brunswick Social Security office at 1-877-803-6313 or our National 800 Number at 1-800-772-1213 (1-800-325-0778 TTY). Generally, the New Brunswick Social Security office serves people who live in ZIP Codes 07080, 08504, 08512, 08528, 08536, 08553, 08558, 08810, 08816 – 8, 08820, 08823 - 4, 08828, 08831, 08837, 08840, 08846, 08850, 08852, 08854 – 5, 08857, 08873, 08875, 08882, 08884, 08899, 08901 – 4, 08906, 08933, and 08989. If you live outside of this area, we provide other local Social Security office phone numbers conveniently online with our Social Security Office Locator at www.ssa.gov/locator.
Although our offices are not providing service for walk-in visitors, we may be able to schedule an appointment for limited, critical issues if we cannot help someone by phone and if they cannot get the information they need or conduct their business online.
Please encourage your community members to call or take advantage of our secure and convenient 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 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, we know that getting medical and other documentation can be difficult due to the pandemic. We continue to extend deadlines wherever possible.
Your voice matters and our community members will listen. Please let me know if you are able to display or share the attached poster – in English, and Spanish, as well as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Vietnamese – so that our diverse local community is aware, and share this email and the posters with other agencies in the local area. I appreciate your help and thank you.
Sincerely,
Gina Diouf
District Manager, New Brunswick
