Address, phone & hours
Your local SSA service center
As your local Social Security service center, the Attleboro office manages a significant volume of benefits, with a total monthly payout of $82 million. While the catchment area skews toward retirement with 81% of beneficiaries aged 65 or older, the office remains a vital point of contact for the 4,805 disabled workers in the region. This office handles 3% of the total beneficiary load for Massachusetts, providing essential support for residents across 14 ZIP codes.
You can visit this office to file initial SSDI applications, drop off medical records, verify your identity, or update your direct deposit information. Please note that this location does not make final disability determinations, which are handled by the state, nor does it conduct hearings. If your claim reaches the hearing stage, you will be directed to a separate office location. An attorney can help you navigate these jurisdictional boundaries to ensure your claim reaches the right decision-makers.
Who this office serves
Beneficiaries in this service area receive an estimated $82,378k in Social Security benefits each month.
Before you visit
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a detailed 15-year work history to your appointment. You should also provide a comprehensive list of your treating physicians with their contact information, recent medical records, and a current list of all medications. If you have received any prior denial notices, bring those documents as well. Expect your interview with a claims representative to last between 45 and 90 minutes.
Avoid common pitfalls such as submitting an incomplete work history or failing to include recent medical records from all relevant providers. Many people also overlook the importance of documenting mental health conditions alongside physical impairments. Never sign official forms without reading them thoroughly, as inaccuracies can lead to unnecessary delays in your application process.
Working while you apply? Check how much you can earn on SSDI this year — SSA's earnings limit is the first thing it looks at.
Was your claim denied? Decode the letter — what the sentence means, what to file, and by when.
Should you bring an attorney?
Many applicants find that the initial filing stage is more complex than it appears, as the evidence gathered now forms the foundation of your entire case. Most people who apply without legal guidance regret it after receiving an initial denial. An attorney can help you understand your options before you submit your paperwork to the SSA.

If your SSDI claim moves to a hearing
About two-thirds of initial SSDI applications nationwide are denied. If yours is, your case moves to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge at one of the regional hearing offices that handles appeals from Attleboro. The Attleboro field office holds your file at every appeal stage, but the substantive decisions happen further up the chain.
