Social Security Administration, for the first time in more than two years, has opened SSA offices to the public.
The offices, which had been closed nationwide since March 17, 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, reopened Thursday.
"Given that many of the people we serve have health vulnerabilities, and consistent with our union agreements, we are continuing to require certain safety measures," said acting SSA commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi.
The Cape Girardeau SSA office, as of last Friday, was limiting visitor entry to a maximum of nine people.
