Online Social Security services
By Dan Moraski
We encourage Berkshire County residents to consider our online services when you need to conduct business with Social Security.
Whether you want to apply for retirement benefits, request a replacement Medicare card, report a change of address, or direct deposit if you are currently receiving benefits, or take charge of your retirement planning, you can do it on our website. Why wait for an appointment? Just go to www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices to get started.
Many of these services can be completed online without taking another step. Some services require you to mail in documents and information. You may decide to print out what you’ve completed online and to take it into the office with the necessary documentation. Regardless, you’ll be ahead of the pack by using our online services. You can rest assured that doing business with Social Security online is fast, easy and secure.
Many of our online services are also available as automated phone services. Call 1-800-772-1213 to take advantage of our automated phone services.
For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
