How to Change Your Address

If you are receiving Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or have applied to receive them, you may report a change of address by:

Calling our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Our representatives will be glad to take the information and make any necessary changes in our records.
Changing your address or phone number online.
Notifying your local field office. You can get addresses and directions to our field offices from the Social Security Office Locator which is available on the Internet at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/.

If you are not receiving Social Security benefits or SSI, we do not maintain your address in our records. However, if we need your address, we obtain it from the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) taxpayer files. The address we use is the latest address IRS has at the time we request it.

If your address has changed in the meantime, IRS will update its record when you file your next return. If you want to change the address before then, you can contact IRS representatives by calling their toll-free number, 1-800-829-3676, and request Form 8822 – Change Of Address. They will be glad to help you.

If you prefer, you may also access a change-of-address form that is available at IRS’ web site at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement/irscoa.htm.
