Regional office moving to Pottstown on March 9

POTTSTOWN » The Limerick Social Security office will relocate to its new location at 80 Robinson St. in Pottstown on Monday, March 9, officials announced.

Business operations at 39 W. Ridge Pike in Limerick will end at close of business Friday, March 6.

Social Security office hours are from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

While the office is moving to a new location, officials emphasize that most Social Security services do not require the public to take time to visit an office.

People may create a my Social Security account, a personalized online service, at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

Through their personal my Social Security account, people can check personal information and conduct business with Social Security. If they already receive Social Security benefits, they can start or change direct deposit online, and if they need proof of their benefits, they can print or download a current Benefit Verification Letter from their account.

People not yet receiving benefits can use their online account to get a personalized Social Security Statement, which provides earnings history information as well as estimates of future benefits. Pennsylvania residents may request a replacement Social Security card online if they meet certain requirements. The portal also includes a retirement calculator and links to information about other online services, such as applications for retirement, disability, and Medicare benefits.

Many Social Security services are also conveniently available by dialing toll-free, 1-800-7721213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call Social Security’s TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
