Social Security Offices To Resume In-Person Services Beginning April 7, 2022
Online, Phone Still Most Recommended Ways To Contact SSA For Assistance, To Schedule Appointments, But Not Required
Social Security Administration Acting Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi just announced good news for those individuals in need of assistance from the agency: local officers will be resuming in-person services this week.
“I am pleased to announce that local Social Security offices will restore in-person services, including for people without an appointment, on April 7, 2022,” Kijakozi was quoted in a Social Security Administration news release issued Monday morning, April 4, 2022.
However, while walk-ins are allowed, the acting commissioner is still recommending those who can to use Social Security’s Administration’s online services at www.socialsecurity.gov, or to call ahead to their local office to schedule an appointment to avoid potentially having to wait for a long period in line at the local office to speak with a SSA representative. Phone appointments can also potentially save people a trip to what likely will be a busy office.
“I thank the public for your patience as we work to increase service,” Kijakozi stated in the release. “Customers who walk in without appointments may encounter delays and longer waits at our offices. Be aware that our offices tend to be the busiest first thing in the morning, early in the week, and during the early part of the month, so people may want to plan to visit at other times.”
Throughout the pandemic, millions of people used the agency’s online services and received help by phone. People who have access to the internet are recommended to first try the SSA’s online services before calling or visiting a local Social Security Administration office, the acting commissioner said.
Because many people served by SSA have health vulnerabilities the agency will continue to require certain safety measures, consistent with union agreements.
“[W]e are continuing to require certain safety measures including masking, physical distancing, and self-health checks for COVID-19 symptoms. We will provide masks to the public and employees if they need them,” the acting commissioner noted.
Part of the preparations by SSA to restore in-person services has included implementation of office-to-office support and bringing back some recently retired employees to help assist. Assistance in getting to ready has also come from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Community Living and national advocate organizations.
The SSA is also transitioning to a new more modern phone system, which could mean a busy signal or unintentional disconnection of calls while the system is being updated. Many Social Security services are also available by dialing toll-free, 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call Social Security’s TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
“We sincerely regret this disruption and recommend people call when our national 800 number may be less busy, such as before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. local time or later in the week. Like our offices, our waits are generally shorter later in the month,” Kijakazi stated in the release.
Most Social Security services are available to the public online at www.socialsecurity.gov and with a my Social Security account. Most Social Security services do not require the public to take time to visit an office. Create a my Social Security account, a personalized online service, at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
These personalized online services include requesting a replacement Social Security replacement card if certain requirements are met, change direct deposit information if the individual already receives Social Security benefits, request a replacement SSA-1099, and can even print or download a Benefit Verification Letter from their account to show proof of benefits. The portal too includes a retirement calculator and links to information about other online services including retirement, disability and Medicare benfits.
Those who do not yet receive Social Security benefits can download from their online account a personalized Social Security Statement, which provides earnings information as well as estimates for future benefits.
Curfew For Minors, Project Superman Among April 5 City Council Agenda Items
Homestead exemption, curfew for minors ordinance and economic development project negotiations are among topics Sulphur Springs City Council will discuss during the regular City Council meeting scheduled Tuesday.
While the regular City Council meeting isn’t scheduled to begin until 7 p.m. April 5, the elected city officials are slated to meet starting at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday in executive session to deliberate regarding Project Superman negotiation, consider possible purchase of real property, and to consult an attorney.
Labeled and identified only as “Project Superman” as negotiations are ongoing, local officials say the potential economic development project could be “a game changer” for the local economy in terms of jobs, and potential long-term tax revenues which would bolster the economy and provide funding for all taxing entities for projects and improvements. For the city and school district, the additional funds could mean additional funds for infrastructure and facilities improvements.
If negotiations for Project Superman or other matters from the executive session have reached a point where action is needed, the City Council would vote on the matter during the regular open portion of the meeting Tuesday evening, April 5, 2022.
Presented for second and, if approved, final hearing is the re-adoption, ratification, republishing and extension of Ordinance 2762 for another 3 years, the maximum allowable time. The ordinance, first passed by the City Council in 2020, establishes a curfew for unaccompanied minors, including circumstances in which minors would be allowed to be out past those hours. The city ordinance was first approved on final reading in April 2020.
The ordinance allows there to be a penalty, a citation or warning, for unaccompanied minors police catch out late at night by themselves. It also allows the officer to take the youth home if caught out in violation of curfew; officers previously were only able to ask the youth to leave, but no other enforceable recourse unless the unaccompanied minor had committed a criminal offense, City Manager Marc Maxwell told the City Council during first reading of the document proposed for re-adoption of the ordinance at the March1 City Council meeting. Sulphur Springs Police Chief Jason Ricketson noted recently, officers have encountered what appear to be more youth sneaking out of their homes at night, and at younger ages.
While officers had not yet issued a citation for the offense as of the March meeting, police had given 40 warnings for youth being out after curfew since the ordinance was became effective on May 1, 2020.
Ordinance No. 2862 will expire on April 30, 2022, if not re-approved by the City Council this month. To read Ordinance No. 2862, click here.
A presentation on homestead exemptions is slated to be discussed during the April 5 meting as well.
Additional items on the agenda include a city manger’s report on the status of capital improvements, municipal operations, accidents and claims for the past month, as well as a review of expenditures and revenues by the assistant city manger/finance director; and consent agenda, including a request for a 380 agreement, and City Council and other Committee meeting minutes from previous meetings.
Time has been designated for proclamation for Fair Housing Month, and any announcements, presentations and proclamations from the city officials; and public forum, to allow those individuals who signed up prior to the start of the City Council meeting to address the council on the records for a few minutes.
Unless otherwise noted, Sulphur Springs City Council meets in regular open session at 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month at Sulphur Springs Municipal Building (City Hall) on Davis Street.
Lady Cats Softball Holds on For Huge 4-3 Victory in Hallsville
Sulphur Springs softball found themselves trailing in a game for only the second time in their district season.
Coach David Carillo’s team rallied down from 1-0, pulling ahead by three before holding on for a 4-3 on Friday in Hallsville.
While scoreless through two and a half innings, Hallsville scored the first run of the game in their third at-bat to take a 1-0 advantage.
Another scoreless inning later and the Lady Cats scored their first thanks to four singles, the last being the biggest from Crymson Bryant.
The junior’s RBI single got Jayden Harper home, allowing Sulphur Springs to tie it up at 1-1 in the top of the 5th.
The 6th inning was when the Lady Cats capitalized on a few costly errors from Hallsville. Kinz Smallwood leading off reached first on infielder error.
Two walks later, and Sulphur Springs had two runners on with only one out.
Smallwood was picked off at third base for the second out, but a fielding error from Hallsville’s CF proved costly as both Lady Cats on-base and hitter Jadyn Harper crossed home for a huge 4-1 lead in the top of the 6th.
With the game on the line, Hallsville’s lead-off batter in the bottom of the 7th singled. Unfortunately for Hallsville, they then coughed up two quick outs, before a wild pitch and two big hits later and Hallsville found themselves trailing by only one at 4-3.
Crimson Bryant with two outs put the game away, recording her final strikeout of the evening to secure a 4-3 victory for Sulphur Springs on Friday, Apr. 1.
The junior got the win after pitching another complete game, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs. Bryant struck out 13 Hallsville batters and walked three Friday.
Friday’s huge win in Hallsville gives the Lady Cats a 16-1-2 record (7-0 district).
Next up, Coach Carrillo’s squad has two big home games on deck:
- Tuesday, Apr. 5 vs Longview (5-2, #3 in district 15-5A)
- Friday, Apr. 8 vs Mount Pleasant (4-3, #4 in 15-5A)
Wins over one or both of the those squads would go a long way for securing a second-straight district championship for Sulphur Springs.
First Lady Cats softball host a hot Lady Lobos squad, with that game teeing off Tuesday, Apr. 5 at 6 P.M.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
