Social security 800 number refers to a telephone number (800-772-1213) established by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide information about retirement, disability, survivors, and supplemental security income (SSI) benefits to the public. This number serves as a direct line of communication, allowing individuals to speak with an SSA representative rather than navigating a complex automated menu system.
The Social Security 800 number plays a crucial role in assisting millions of Americans who rely on Social Security benefits. It simplifies access to information and support, empowering individuals to manage their benefits efficiently. The establishment of this number in 1995 was a significant advancement, improving accessibility and easing communication between beneficiaries and the SSA.
