The Social Security Administration is closing all of its local offices to the public starting on Tuesday due to coronavirus.

Local offices will still be available by phone with a priority on critical services, the agency said. That includes benefit payments for those who did not receive their checks or need them reinstated; cases with severe blindness, disability or terminal illness; and eligibility decisions needed for urgent Medicaid approval.

Other in-person services, such as benefit verifications or getting a new or replacement Social Security card, may be delayed until the offices reopen.
