Social security disability payment center phone number

Q: Does Social Security Disability contact you by phone?

What should I do if I get a call claiming theres a problem with my Social Security number or account? If there is a problem, we will mail you a letter. Generally, we will only contact you if you have requested a call or have ongoing business with us.

The SSA has recently published a list of phone numbers for its processing centers. Disability cases for claimants under age 54 are at the Office of Disability Operations (ODO) and phone numbers are divided according to the first five digits of the claimant’s SSN. Disability cases for claimants age 54 and older are at the Processing Service Centers. Some PSCs use the first few digits of the claimant’s SSN, and some use the last four digits.
