Address, phone & hours
Your local SSA service center
The Henderson office acts as your local Social Security service center for residents across 18 ZIP codes. With 5,535 disabled-worker beneficiaries, this location supports a significant portion of the community. The office manages a total monthly payout of $64 million to retirees, survivors, and disabled workers. While 73% of beneficiaries are retired, the 14% SSDI share remains a core focus for local staff.
You can visit this office for initial SSDI applications, document drop-offs, and in-person identity verification. It is also the place to go for Medicare enrollment assistance and direct-deposit setup. This office does not make final disability decisions, as those are handled by the state DDS. Additionally, any necessary hearings are conducted by a separate office, not at this location.
Who this office serves
Beneficiaries in this service area receive an estimated $64,178k in Social Security benefits each month.
Before you visit
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a detailed work history to your appointment. You should also provide a comprehensive list of all treating providers, including their names and addresses, along with your most recent medical records. Include any documentation regarding prior claim denials and a current list of all medications. Expect your interview with a claims representative to last between 45 and 90 minutes.
Avoid common pitfalls like submitting an incomplete work history or failing to provide recent medical records from all your doctors. Many applicants also neglect to mention mental-health conditions that impact your ability to work. Always read every form thoroughly before signing to ensure your information is accurate. Missing these details can lead to unnecessary delays in your application review.
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?
The evidence you gather during your initial application at the Henderson office forms the foundation of your entire case. Most people who apply without representation face significant hurdles if their initial application is denied. An attorney can help you organize your medical evidence and ensure your application is as strong as possible from day one.

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