Representatives from the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the U.S. Embassy will hold an outreach event at the Consular Agency in Cebu on May 28, 2025. The services will be available from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and attendees are advised to arrive early due to limited service capacity.
The SSA will offer several services during this event, including discussions on basic entitlement requirements for various Social Security benefits, development of benefit claims, processing of social security number applications, and resolving post-entitlement issues such as changes of address or Medicare enrollments.
Participants are reminded to bring both original documents and photocopies for submission. The SSA representatives will retain the photocopies while returning the originals.
It is important to note that only SSA representatives will be present at this event. Questions related to American Citizens Services (ACS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) cannot be addressed by embassy staff during this outreach.
