Where to go to receive SS checks in all other ZIP Codes -- list

Local postal operations continue to recover after the temporary suspensions of delivery and retail services around the region in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

UPDATE:  Postal officials note that Social Security checks (SS) due for delivery on November 1st and 2nd will be delivered in those locations where mail services will be restored.   In most instances where deliveries cannot be made, customers are instructed to visit their regular post office for pick up of checks.
