3. Bring Necessary Documentation - When you are on the phone with the representative, make sure you ask them what forms you will need to bring to your appointment. This will prevent you from having to come back again if you forget your documentation. Here are some documents you may need to bring: US birth certificate, US passport, Social Security Card, etc

4. Bring A List Of Questions You Need Answered - This will make it easier for you to deal with a time constrained social security representative. Make sure all of your questions get answered.
