LOCAL SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE PHONE NUMBERS: HUNTSVILLE, FLORENCE, DECATUR AL

Here are those hard to find telephone numbers for North Alabama Social Security field offices.  Please note that all Social Security offices now use toll free numbers which DO ring into the local office shown below.  Some tips:

All calls are now answered automatically by computer.  You will be given options.

  • Option 1 asks you to dial 1 if you want information about health insurance, Obama Care, etc.  If you do not, press 2.

    The second option asks you to press 1 if you know the extension number you wish to reach.  You probably do not, so press 0 for the operator.

    You will have to listen to some recorded announcements and music while a Social Security employee finds time to grab the phone.  Just hold on and be patient.  Here are those telephone numbers:

TOOL BELT FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CLAIMS

Image
An affective craftsman will always have the proper tools on his tool belt.  The Social Security disability advocate is no different.  He or she must have the proper tools and know how to use them effectively to win your disability case.  Let's talk about a few of the tools that your disability case will require. Medical Evidence.   This is a record of your treatment from doctors, psychologists, therapists, hospitals, clinics or other providers who have treated or examined you.  It should include a diagnosis, prognosis, level of severity, treatment procedures, dates, etc.  Acceptable medical sources for Social Security are medical doctors and licensed clinical psychologists.  Evidence from other sources may also be used. Vocational Evidence (VE).   Here is another useful item in our tool belt. Vocational evidence includes your age, level of education or training, skills and work history - especially work you did during the ...

BIGGEST MEDIA LIES ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABIILTY

The media lies constantly about the Social Security disability program.  I expect the media to lie; however, it is making it difficult for disabled Americans go get benefits.  Here are some of the worst lies the media is telling us.     Social Security benefits are responsible for the growing national deficit.

Here's why the Social Security disability program is not welfare: 1)  You paid FICA tax every day you worked.  FICA stands for "Federal Insurance Contribution Act."  It's actually a Social Security tax.  It came out of every paycheck you earned. 2)  You were forced to purchase Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) by the US government.  You were not given a choice.  This is a government sponsored disability insurance plan, just like you would purchase from an insurance company.  The only difference, it was mandatory--you were forced to buy it, no choice. 3)  The Social Security program is self-financing.  It is not paid for out of the general US treasury.  FICA taxes come out of your paycheck, are matched by your employer, and go into a special trust fund.  When you become dis...
