Appointments for the London Federal Benefits Unit

 

Interview appointments for the Federal Benefits Unit are limited. We will arrange appointments for individuals who require a mandatory in-person interview (e.g. first time SSN applicants over age 12) or for urgent inquiries only. Most Federal Benefits Unit inquiries can be handled by telephone or mail. Mailing documents within the U.K. is safe and fast, and we recommend that you use Special Delivery or Signed For mail that can be tracked.  For our address or telephone numbers, please see our Contact Information webpage.

By appointment, you can visit the Federal Benefits Unit Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30am – and 1:00pm (except for U.S. and UK holidays).   The Federal Benefits Unit is closed for appointments on the last Thursday of every month for internal training purposes.
