The Social Security Administration’s Seattle Region proudly serves the residents
of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Our region encompasses 23 % of
America’s landmass and spans three time zones.
Approximately 1.8 million of our region’s 12
million people receive monthly retirement, survivors or disability benefits.
Another 209,000 get Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) payments. In all, Social Security pays more than $17 billion a year
to residents of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Within the Seattle Region, we maintain a network of 54 local offices
– spanning the length and breadth of our four
states - from Fairbanks to Medford and from Idaho Falls to Grays Harbor.
But chances are good that your first contact with Social Security will
be with one of our highly trained telephone service representatives based
right here in the Pacific Northwest. One of Social Security’s four largest
teleservice centers is located in Auburn, Washington. And we have a
smaller facility in Portland, Oregon.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) website
at www.socialsecurity.gov
offers visitors the opportunity to conduct much of their business with
SSA directly online. You can read about how Social Security might
help you now and in the future, estimate the amount of your retirement
benefit, and even file for benefits online. You would join the
many people in the Seattle Region who have chosen to use online
services.
Call us at 1-800-772-1213 (the
toll-free TDD number for the deaf and hearing-impaired community is
1-800-325-0778) or visit us online at

Our nearly 1,800 Seattle Region employees are a well-trained, courteous
and highly dedicated group of people. As diverse as the population of our
region itself, their goal is to provide you with high quality, professional
service each and every time you need help. They are there to answer your
questions, explain our programs and take your applications for benefits.
And if you’re looking for employment, why not consider coming to work
for us? The Social Security Administration is a terrific place to work.
