Address, phone & hours
Your local SSA service center
The Greenville office acts as your local Social Security service center, managing a total monthly payout of $25 million for the community. With 17,605 total beneficiaries, the office supports a population where 18% rely on SSDI benefits. This distribution is typical for the region, balancing the needs of 11,110 retired workers with those currently unable to work due to disability. Serving 22 ZIP codes, this office handles 3% of the total beneficiary population in Mississippi.
At the Greenville office, you can file your initial SSDI application, drop off required medical documents, and complete in-person identity verification. This location also assists with Medicare enrollment and direct deposit setup for your monthly payments. Please note that this office does not decide your claim, as that responsibility lies with the state disability determination services. Additionally, all formal hearings are conducted at a separate location, not at this field office.
Who this office serves
Beneficiaries in this service area receive an estimated $24,815k in Social Security benefits each month.
Before you visit
To prepare for your appointment, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a comprehensive list of your work history covering the last 15 years. You should also provide a complete list of your treating providers with their contact information, along with any recent medical records or test results. If you have received prior denial notices, bring those documents as well.
You may face delays by failing to provide a complete 15-year work history or missing recent medical records from your primary care providers. Forgetting to mention mental health conditions or secondary physical impairments can also result in an incomplete application. Avoid signing any forms until you have read them thoroughly and understand exactly what information you are providing to the Social Security Administration.

Should you bring an attorney?
The application stage is the foundation of your entire disability claim, yet many people navigate it without professional guidance. An attorney can help you identify gaps in your medical evidence and ensure your work history is documented accurately. By securing representation now, you create a stronger record that can be vital if your case requires an appeal later.

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 Greenville. The Greenville field office holds your file at every appeal stage, but the substantive decisions happen further up the chain.
