Address, phone & hours
Your local SSA service center
As of December 2024, 4,150 disabled-worker beneficiaries rely on the Xenia office for their SSDI support. The local impact is significant, with ZIP 45385 alone accounting for 1,095 of these recipients. While the office serves a total of 40,810 beneficiaries and pays out $75 million in monthly benefits, its SSDI share of 10.2% is typical for a field office of this size. This share is higher than 38% of field offices nationally.
At the Xenia office, you can file your initial SSDI application, drop off required medical documentation, or verify your identity in person. Please note that this office does not make the final decision on your claim, as that responsibility lies with the state DDS. Additionally, this office does not conduct administrative law judge hearings, which are handled at a separate location. While walk-ins are accepted, scheduling an appointment in advance can help reduce your wait time.
Who this office serves
Beneficiaries in this service area receive an estimated $74,650k in Social Security benefits each month.
Before you visit
To prepare for your appointment at Xenia, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and a detailed 15-year work history. You should also provide a comprehensive list of your treating providers with their contact information and addresses. Bring any recent medical records, a list of your current medications, and copies of any prior denial letters if you have them. Your interview with a claims representative will typically last between 45 and 90 minutes.
You may experience delays by failing to provide a complete 15-year work history or missing recent medical records from your primary care providers. Another frequent error is neglecting to mention mental health conditions that contribute to your inability to work. Always review your application forms carefully before signing them to ensure all information is accurate and complete. An attorney can help you avoid these oversights.
Should you bring an attorney?
Even at the initial application stage, having legal representation can be a significant advantage. An attorney can help you organize your medical evidence and ensure your application clearly reflects the severity of your condition. Most people who apply without help find the process overwhelming, especially after a denial. A free case review can help you understand your options before you submit your paperwork.

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. SSA routes appeals from the Xenia field office to the hearing office below, per SSA's published service areas.
