SOCIAL SECURITY SERVICES DURING PANDEMIC

Social Security remains committed to providing uninterrupted benefits and vital services the public relies on, especially during the current coronavirus pandemic. As an important part of the community, despite challenges government and businesses face at this time, we want people to know we remain ready and able to help them by phone with most Social Security matters.

You can speak with a representative by calling your local Social Security office or our National 800 Number.  We provide local office phone numbers conveniently online with our Social Security Office Locator.

Although our offices are not providing service for walk-in visitors, we may be able to schedule an appointment for limited, critical issues if we cannot help someone by phone and if they cannot get the information they need or conduct their business online.

We encourage customers to call or take advantage of our secure and convenient online services to:

  • Apply for Retirement, Disability, and Medicare benefits,
  • Check the status of an application or appeal,
  • Request a replacement Social Security card (in most areas),
  • Print a benefit verification letter, and
  • Much more.

Most business with SSA can be done online, but we know many people still rely on phone or in-person help. That’s why we want people to know they can still count on us by phone.

Lastly, we know that getting medical and other documentation can be difficult due to the pandemic. We continue to extend deadlines wherever possible.

For Lakeshore CAP‘s 4 county area:

NOTE: These offices are closed until further notice due to COVID-19. We are still accepting mail and online applications.

Black lives and racial equality matter. The “Community Action Program” was born of the War on Poverty and is, therefore, linked to the civil rights movement. As great social and economic unrest consumes our state and nation, we must renew and deepen our commitment to racial and ethnic equality. We must recognize our common humanity and kinship with all people. Lakeshore CAP stands together with all who work daily toward a more just culture of racial equity and economic opportunity.

YOUR STIMULUS PAYMENT BY DEBIT CARD

YOUR STIMULUS PAYMENT BY DEBIT CARD

Jun 3, 2020 | Lakeshore CAP News

MAILED IRS VISA DEBIT CARDS IN UNMARKED ENVELOPES ARE NOT JUNK OR A SCAM!

Nearly four million Americans were sent their government economic impact payment (EIP) by Visa-branded prepaid debit card instead of by paper check, according to the Internal Revenue Service. This is causing many to believe the unmarked envelopes with debit cards inside are junk mail or a scam.

Visit Consumer Action’s EIP debit card alert page for pertinent information, including:

 

  • Images of what the card looks like
  • What to do if you threw away your card
  • How to avoid fees when using the card
