News 4 San Antonio: South Side social security office re-opened for business

SAN ANTONIO — A social security office on the South Side is re-opened for business, seven months after it unexpectedly closed for repairs, congressman Lloyd Doggett said in a press release.

Doggett said the social security office located 3438 East Southcross Blvd closed in March due to structural issues impairing "many seniors and individuals with disabilities."

"Responding immediately to a constituent inquiry, I began urging the Social Security Administration to get this office operational and made repeated inquiries throughout the year," he said in the statement. "Many Southside seniors rely on this office. Thank you to Toni Moorhouse from the Pecan Valley Neighborhood for her continued advocacy on this issue."

Normal hours for the security office are 9 a.m. -4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Wednesday. Services are available toll free by dialing 1-800-772-1213. People who are dear or hard of hearing can call 1-800-325-0778.
