The Social Security Administration (SSA) office located in the Manor Business Center at 337 Brightseat Road in Landover, MD will no longer offer service after close of business on Friday, April 8, 2011. As a result, one of two different offices will now service residents in the Landover area.

Starting Monday, April 11th, residents living in ZIP codes 20716, 20717, 20721, 20731 and 20791 will now be served by the office located at 7401C Forbes Blvd in Seabrook, MD. Office hours at the Seabrook office are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Residents living in ZIP codes 20722, 20743, 20747, 20753, 20774, 20775, 20785 and 20792 will now be served by the office located at 6110 Allentown Road in Suitland, MD. Office hours at the Suitland office are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Periodically, SSA analyzes its network of community-based offices to ensure that service is consistent throughout the area being served. Currently, the three offices that serve the residents of Prince George’s, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary’s counties (Landover, Seabrook and Suitland) are all located in Prince George’s County, the northernmost county in the service area. However, over 55% of the service area population lives in the southern tri-county area. A single contact station in each of the southern counties has been operating on a limited-hour basis (two days per week maximum), but this is an inadequate level of service for the residents in these growing communities. To provide full time service to the residents of this area, SSA has relocated the business operation of the Landover office to Charlotte Hall, reassigned ZIP codes from Suitland to Charlotte Hall, and re-drawn the service areas of Seabrook and Suitland to include the Landover ZIP codes.

Although specific ZIP codes define SSA service areas, residents may choose to conduct their Social Security business at any office. For members of the public who do not need to visit a field office, anyone with access to an Internet connection may conduct business online at socialsecurity.gov. Visitors can apply for benefits, request a new Medicare card, get a Proof of Income letter, change their address or phone number, get directions to Social Security offices, download publications or arrange for other services in an easy-to-use, secure and convenient internet website.

Social Security business can also be conducted by calling our toll free number 1800-772-1213. Representatives can answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. We also provide information by automated phone service 24 hours a day.
