## What to include in your fax to Social Security

Confirm which forms or documents your office needs and whether it accepts them by fax. A fax copy may not meet a request for an original document. Use the submission method specified for your request.

## Check the destination and prepare your cover page

Address the cover to the office or staff member handling your request. Include a callback number and page count. Follow SSA’s instructions for identifying your case; avoid repeating sensitive details unnecessarily.

Use the official contact page above to confirm where your documents should go.

## Confirm delivery and follow up with Social Security

These are fax destinations, not voice support lines. Keep the transmission result and a copy of the documents. Confirm with the receiving department that the packet is complete and can be processed; a delivery receipt does not establish acceptance or a decision. Check with that department before sending a duplicate.
