A
message from Regional Commissioner Michael F. Bertrand:
Welcome to the Social Security Administration's Boston Region. You can use the Contact Us link to access several options for contacting SSA, including online access at socialsecurity.gov and our toll-free numbers, 1-800-772-1213 and TTY number 1-800-325-0778. Our Region consists of the six New England states, Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, and we have
69 field offices, 1 teleservice center, and 7 Disability Determination
Services offices to serve those members of the public who seek our help. Social Security impacts nearly everyone’s life. Whether assigning a Social Security number to a newborn infant, providing a Social Security benefit to a retired or disabled worker, or payments to the survivors of deceased family members, Social Security touches the lives of more Americans than any other federal program. On a yearly basis, the Boston Region processes over
513,000
new claims for benefits and issues 490,000 Social Security cards. Monthly,
more than 2.8 million New Englanders receive
over $3.2 billion in Social
Security retirement, survivor, or disability benefits. In addition,
347,000 recipients of Supplemental Security
Income receive $170 million
in benefits each month. Overall, nearly $38.5 billion in
benefits is sent to the citizens of New England
annually to provide
some of their financial security. |
