Your local SSA service center
As your local Social Security service center, the Bricktown office supports a community where 84% of beneficiaries are age 65 or older. While this catchment skews toward retirement, the office remains a primary point of contact for the 4,255 disabled-worker beneficiaries in the area. With $98 million in monthly benefits distributed across 6 ZIP codes, the staff handles a significant volume of administrative tasks.
You can visit the Bricktown office to file an initial SSDI application, drop off medical evidence, verify your identity, or update your direct deposit information. Please note that this office does not make final disability determinations, which are handled by the state, nor does it conduct hearings, which occur at a separate location. While walk-ins are accepted, scheduling an appointment is recommended to minimize wait times.
Who this office serves
Beneficiaries in this service area receive an estimated $98,285k in Social Security benefits each month.
Before you visit
To prepare for your appointment, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and your work history. You should also provide a list of all treating medical providers with their contact information, copies of your most recent medical records, and a current list of all medications. If you have received any prior denial notices, bring those documents as well.
You may delay your claim by failing to provide a complete work history or omitting recent medical records from your primary doctors. Another frequent error is forgetting to disclose conditions that contribute to your inability to work. Additionally, never sign any SSA forms without reading them thoroughly to ensure all information is accurate.
Filing an SSDI claim?
Should you bring an attorney?
The initial application stage is the foundation of your entire disability claim. Most claimants who apply without legal guidance find themselves needing to appeal after an initial denial. An attorney can help you organize your evidence and present your case effectively from the very first day.

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