reopie wno nave Business with social security can now take care of most everything by telephone, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently.

The first week of any month is a bad time to call social security, unless the caller has very urgent business. That is the week social security and supplemental security income checks are delivered. During that time, it is not unusual for all lines to be in use. The best time to call is after midmonth.

A person can call social security to:

Apply for social security or SSI benefits.

Apply for Medicare.

Change name or address of record.

Report change in marital status.

Report stop or start of work, and other events affecting checks.

Report lost or stolen check or delayed payment.

Report lost or missing social security or Medicare card.

Get help with Medicare forms.

Get benefit estimate.

Request statement of earnings record.

Gef help in requesting review of decision made on claim.

Before you call, be sure to have all necessary information on hand. It is most important to know your claim number.
