Listen to this note:
The Redwood City Social Security office will move to its new location at 1718 Broadway Street, Redwood City, CA, next Monday, June 10, so residents should take precautions.
And commercial operations at 601 Allerton Street, 2nd Floor, in Redwood City, will end at the close of this Friday, June 7.
The hours of the Social Security offices are and will continue to be from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
It should be noted that most Social Security services do not require the public to spend time visiting an office. Many of its services can be consulted conveniently online at www.ssa.gov or by dialing the toll-free number 1-800-772-1213. People who are hard of hearing or deaf can call Social Security's TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
Individuals can create their My Social Security account, a personalized online service, at www.ssa.gov/myaccount, and if they already receive Social Security benefits, they can start or change direct deposit online, request a replacement SSA-1099, and if they need proof of their benefits, they can print or download a current Benefit Verification Letter from your account.
People who are not yet receiving benefits can use their online account to obtain a personalized Social Security Statement, which provides information about their income as well as estimates of their future benefits. The portal also includes a retirement calculator and links to information about other online services.
If you need a card with your Social Security number you must start the process online.
However, the office notes that in many situations people only need your number and not the card.
People can visit www.ssa.gov/ssnumber to submit a card replacement request, initiate a card update request, or request a Social Security number for the first time.
