Sec. 422.5  District offices and branch offices.

    There are over 700 social security district offices and branch 
offices located in the principal cities and other urban areas or towns 
of the United States. In addition, there are over 3,300 contact 
stations, located in population and trading centers, which are visited 
on a regularly, recurring, preannounced basis. A schedule of these 
visits can be obtained from the nearest district office or branch 
office. The address of the nearest district office or branch office can 
be obtained from the local telephone directory or from the post office. 
Each district office and branch office has a list of all district 
offices and branch offices throughout the country and their addresses. 
The principal officer in each district office is the manager. The 
principal officer in each branch office is the officer-in-charge. Each 
district office and branch office also has a list of field offices of 
the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals and their addresses. The 
administrative hearing examiner is the principal officer in each field 
office. For procedures relating to claims see Sec. 422.130, subpart J 
of part 404 of this chapter, and Sec. 404.1520 of this chapter (the 
latter relating to disability determinations). For procedures on request 
for hearing by an Administrative Law Judge and review by the Appeals 
Council see subpart C of this part 422.
