WASHINGTON — Numerous Social Security Administration offices nationwide are scheduled for closure this year. These closures stem from actions taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under Elon Musk’s leadership, as part of the Trump administration’s initiative to reduce the size of the government.
DOGE is aiming to terminate nearly 800 federal property leases. The Associated Press has reviewed an internal planning document from the General Services Administration (GSA), the agency responsible for managing federal real estate, which details the expected timeline for nearly two-thirds of these lease cancellations.

These office closures are occurring despite the implementation of stricter identity verification protocols designed to combat fraud and abuse. These new measures will require millions of beneficiaries and applicants to visit local agency offices, rather than interacting with staff via telephone.
The AP also obtained additional details regarding each lease on DOGE’s list from publicly accessible datasets. This information includes addresses, original lease start and expiration dates, and the names of the property owners.
Of the 47 Social Security Administration offices targeted for closure, only some have confirmed dates for lease termination. Below is a state-by-state list of the 26 offices anticipated to close this year, along with their respective lease termination dates, as per GSA data:
