Binghamton Social Security Office Temporarily Reduces In-Office Services

In response to scheduled renovations, the Binghamton Social Security Administration (SSA) office situated at Suite 300, 2 Court Street, Binghamton NY 13901, has announced a temporary closure to walk-in visitors on Thursday, November 21, and Friday, November 22. Normal services are expected to resume on Monday, November 25. Despite the in-person restriction, individuals seeking assistance can still engage with the staff at the Binghamton SSA office by dialing 1-866-964-3971 during this period.

During the closure, individuals who require in-person Social Security services are encouraged to utilize alternative locations for their needs. The Oneonta office at Suite 1, 31 Main Street, Oneonta NY 13820, and the Syracuse office at the Federal Building, 4th Floor, 100 S. Clinton Street, Syracuse NY 13261, are available options for those who need immediate assistance.

The regular operating hours of SSA offices are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. To ease the inconvenience caused by the temporary closure, individuals are urged to explore the online resources provided by the Social Security Administration. Many Social Security services can be conveniently accessed on the official website at www.ssa.gov or by contacting the toll-free number 1-800-772-1213. Additionally, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can reach out via SSA's TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.

Creating a personalized my Social Security account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount allows individuals to manage their Social Security benefits efficiently. Existing beneficiaries can initiate or modify direct deposits, request a replacement SSA-1099, or access a current Benefit Verification Letter online. For those not currently receiving benefits, the online account offers a personalized Social Security Statement containing earnings information and benefit estimates. The platform also hosts a retirement calculator and provides links to other online services.

For anyone in need of a Social Security Number card, the process can be initiated online at www.ssa.gov/ssnumber. Most situations only require the number itself, while those requiring the card can efficiently kickstart the application process through the website, potentially bypassing a visit to the office.

Online applications for various benefits, such as retirement, disability, or Medicare, can be submitted at www.ssa.gov/onlineservices. With the absence of extensive paperwork, the SSA reviews applications and reaches out for additional information as needed.
