At least 47 local Social Security offices are closing, being consolidated or moved into existing federal spaces as a result of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)'s audit of the agency.
Some of these offices were being used to conduct in-person hearings but did not offer appointments or provide customer services, such as card replacement or applying for benefits. There were also listings for closures of offices that are not listed on the Social Security Administration's (SSA) website.
