Social Security Sets Four-Day In-Person Assistance in San Salvador for Jan. 26–29

Overview

  • SSA regional representatives from the Federal Benefits Unit in San José, Costa Rica will conduct the sessions in San Salvador.
  • Local hosting and coordination will be provided with the Government of El Salvador and relevant authorities.
  • Access will be by prior appointment only due to expected high demand, with scheduling handled through the FBU.
  • Services will focus on retirement, disability and survivors benefits, including record updates and payment or eligibility guidance.
  • Reporting characterizes the outreach as a temporary initiative, noted as a first for in-person SSA assistance in Latin America and coinciding with a 2.8% COLA effective January 2026.
