How to update phone number with SSA without endless hold times?

I just went through this last month. Here's what worked for me: • Call early in the morning, right when they open • Have your SSN and current address ready • Be polite but firm with the automated system • When you get a real person, clearly state your purpose • Ask them to confirm once the update is complete Hope this helps! Good luck 👍

Honestly, calling the SSA is a nightmare. I spent hours on hold last time I tried to update my info. There has to be a better way!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Have you tried updating your info online? Sometimes you can do it through the SSA website without having to call.

ugh, i feel your pain. spent 3 hours on hold last week trying to do the same thing. this system is broken af 😤

Pro tip: if you have a local SSA office nearby, sometimes it's faster to go in person. Just be prepared to wait in line.
