Under certain circumstances, Social Security can provide a speaker to discuss our programs, benefits, and services. We provide speakers free of charge, and they are generally available during business hours only.
If you would like to request a speaker on behalf of your group, please email your request to the Regional Communications Office serving your state. All requests require at least 30 days advance notice to allow for scheduling arrangements. Please note that we are not able to fulfill all requests.
