Social Security Administration / FAQs

What is the Social Security Administration's policy on employees working from home?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) generally follows the policies of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which allows telework (working from home) under certain circumstances. Eligible employees may work from home on a regular or occasional basis, depending on the needs of their job and the approval of their supervisor. Employees must have a suitable workspace and equipment, must remain available for contact via phone or email, and may be subject to periodic office visits.
