The Social Security Administration does not currently have online appointment scheduler.

The SSA website, SSA.gov,  is the best way for most people to get help.

If you cannot use the website, or need more help, you can contact your local office phone number or national 800 number (1-800-772-1213) for help scheduling an appointment.

When visiting a local field office, appointment is not required. However, if you contact the office and schedule, it may reduce the time you spend waiting for help.
