This New Rochelle office is one of five Social Security Offices in Westchester. Social Security provides monthly cash benefits for those eligible for retirement, survivor and disability benefits. Residents come to this office to apply for benefits, to certify documents as part of the application process and to ask questions about their payments.
When you visit the New Rochelle office, turn to the left to visit the interactive computer. You will select from options including "I have an appointment" and "Other questions." You may have to input your Social Security number. The machine will then print a slip with a number on it. Take a seat and wait for your number to be called before proceeding to a counter. No food or drinks are allowed in the office. In order to avoid a possible wait, call to make an appointment before visiting this office.
Free 15-minute parking and handicapped parking are available directly in front of the building. Paid parking is also available in the nearby New Rochelle city lot. Do not park in the Stop & Shop lot.
