The Minot Social Security office is under lease review but is not scheduled for closure, according to information from the General Services Administration and Social Security Administration.

Internal information from the GSA that had been made public earlier this month indicated a closure date for the Minot office at 1414 20th Ave. SW of June 21.

U.S. Sen. John Hoeven’s office recently communicated with the Social Security Administration, which reported no plans to close the field office in Minot in June. The agency stated it is reviewing remote hearing office leases. A final determination about the remote hearing office in Minot has not been made yet.

The GSA issued a similar statement, stressing its letters of intent to terminate have no immediate effect and do not mean the lease has been terminated.

“As leases enter their soft term, we are sending letters of intent to customer agencies to inform them GSA is considering lease termination, thereby exercising GSA’s contractual rights as agreed upon with our lessors,” a GSA spokesperson said in the statement.

“Actively managing leases gives GSA the opportunity to work closely with our partner agencies on their evolving and longer term needs and will often allow us to enhance space utilization and secure better terms for the government – including better pricing,” the statement continued. “In instances where the current space remains the most suitable option — whether temporarily or longer term — we are adjusting our approach. For these agencies, we are either rescinding termination notices or, in some cases, not issuing them at all.”
