You can speak to a representative between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. each business day. The lines are busiest early in the week and early in the month. If your business can wait, it's best to call at other times. When you call, have your Social Security number handy.
Recorded information and services are available 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays.
