The Social Security Administration (“SSA”) announced this month that they are expanding its hours beginning March 16, 2015. The local field offices will be open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. This reflects an additional hour of service time, as currently the local SSA field offices close at 3:00pm. SSA will continue to close at noon on Wednesdays to allow their staff to catch up with paperwork and backlog. SSA had been operating at reduced service hours for the last few years due to budget cuts, understaffing and growing backlogs. However, increased funding for the fiscal year has allowed SSA to normalize their service hours.
