Neighborhoods served

The North Bronx field office at 2501 Grand Concourse, 2nd Fl, Bronx, NY 10468 primarily serves residents of Fordham, Mt Eden, Mt Hope, Tremont, Bedford Park, University Heights, and Kingsbridge Heights. Each Bronx SSA office is assigned specific ZIP codes; this office covers ZIP 10468 and adjacent ones. To confirm whether this is your assigned office for a specific service, enter your ZIP code at ssa.gov/locator or call 1-800-772-1213.

That said, for most routine services any Bronx SSA office can help — you do not strictly need to visit the one assigned to your ZIP, though more complex local cases may require it.

How to get there by subway

The closest subway access is Burnside Avenue or 183rd Street (4 train), or Fordham Road (B, D), then a short walk to the office at 2501 Grand Concourse, 2nd Fl, Bronx, NY 10468. 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 North Bronx office

Every Bronx SSA field office handles the full range of Social Security services. At the North Bronx 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.
