Social Security

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for providing social security numbers to workers of all ages. SSA uses these numbers to keep track of a worker’s earnings for entitlement to retirement, disability and survivors benefits. If your employees need a Social Security number and/or card, they should call 1-800-772-1213 or visit our internet website at http://www.ssa.gov/phila to get the application form, information on any necessary documents, and the location of the nearest office. Social Security has offices throughout the Delaware Valley where your employees can bring the form and original documents. The Social Security card is then issued from SSA’s Baltimore headquarters within ten days.

For any other Social Security information or business involving filming and the media, you should first contact the Regional Public Affairs Office in Philadelphia at 215-597-3747.
