Social Security and other Federal Benefits Services at Embassy Prague

In order to provide better and faster service, the Social Security Administration has changed the way that U.S. Embassies in this region provide assistance about Social Security and other Federal Benefits Services. Effective immediately Regional Experts working for the Social Security Administration will now provide this service through the Federal Benefits Unit at the American Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. The American Embassy in Prague will no longer provide most routine Federal Benefits Services.

If you have any questions about:

• Social Security (SSA)
• Veterans Affairs (DVA)
• Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
• Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)

 

You may contact that office by telephoning or writing:
