Starting January 6, 2025, Social Security offices will require appointments for most in-person visits. While this is meant to reduce wait times, in reality, it’s making things much harder for the people who need help the most.
Instead of being able to walk in and get assistance, people are now waiting 4-8 weeks just to get an appointment. Calling for help? That can mean spending hours on hold, only to get disconnected and have to start over.
We believe this change is making accessing Social Security services more frustrating and less personal—but the good news is, we can help with many of the things you’d go to a Social Security office for, without the long wait!
What’s Changing at Social Security Offices?
🔹 No more walk-ins for most services (unless it’s an emergency).
🔹 Most appointments will be done over the phone—not in person.
🔹 Wait times for an appointment can be 4-8 weeks.
🔹 Calling Social Security can mean a 3-hour hold, only to get disconnected.
If you’re trying to apply for Medicare, get answers about your benefits, or just need help navigating the process, this system can be overwhelming and stressful.
