How to get there by subway
The closest subway access is Hunts Point Avenue (6 train), then a short walk to the office at 1029 E 163rd St, 3rd Fl, Bronx, NY 10459. New York City's subway is the most reliable way to reach any Bronx SSA office — street parking in the area is limited and time-restricted.
If you are coming from outside the Bronx, allow extra time during weekday rush hours (7-9 AM and 4-6 PM) when service is more variable. Plan for half a day total when traveling from another borough: most appointments take 15-30 minutes, but travel plus security screening adds up.
Services available at the Hunts Point office
Every Bronx SSA field office handles the full range of Social Security services. At the Hunts Point location you can apply for a first-time Social Security card, replace a lost card, change the name on your card, apply for disability benefits (SSDI and SSI), apply for retirement, enroll in Medicare, get a Social Security number for a newborn, and handle most immigration-related changes to your record.
Some services can also be completed entirely online at ssa.gov without visiting any office — replacement cards for qualifying applicants, retirement applications, address changes, and benefit verification letters. Visit the office in person for services that require original documents or for situations where face-to-face guidance is helpful.
