Where is the Social Security office near me in Texas?

How to find your office

1. Go to ssa.gov/locator.
2. Enter your ZIP code. The locator shows the office that serves your address, with its hours and phone number.
3. Schedule an appointment online or by phone before you go.

We don't list office addresses here, because Social Security sometimes moves or closes offices, changes hours, or serves an area by phone only for a time. The locator is always current.

What Social Security handles for Medicare

• Signing up for Part A and Part B, including during a Special Enrollment Period after job-based coverage ends.
• Part B premiums, including the income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA). In 2026 the standard Part B premium is $202.90.
• Extra Help with Part D drug costs.
• Address changes and questions about Social Security benefits.

To apply for Texas Medicaid or a Medicare Savings Program, go to YourTexasBenefits.com or call 2-1-1.

What to bring

When you book, ask what documents to bring. If you're signing up for Part B after job-based coverage ends, you'll use form CMS-40B (Application for Enrollment in Medicare Part B) and form CMS-L564 (Request for Employment Information), which your employer fills out to show your group coverage.

Social Security, Medicare or HHSC?

Three agencies handle different parts of Medicare for Texans, and going to the right one first saves a trip. Social Security signs you up and handles Part B premiums. Medicare, at 1-800-MEDICARE, answers questions about coverage, claims and plans. Texas HHSC handles Medicaid, STAR+PLUS and the Medicare Savings Programs, which can pay your Part B premium if your income is limited.

Try the phone or online first

Social Security's national number is 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can apply for Medicare online at ssa.gov, often faster than waiting for an appointment. See how do I sign up for Medicare in Texas.
