I need a copy of my award letter. Can I get it by e mail sooner than in the mail or can I get an appointment sooner?

I sent my paperwork almost 3 weeks ago and haven't received anything back. I was promised it would take a couple days to get my items back.

This is nonsense that you can�t go to the office to get a social security card for a minor, or apply for one online for it. But, you need the card to get a drivers license. What a joke this agency has become!

Install some vending machines...people who are waiting 2-3-4 hours, usually get hungry and thirsty!
Aug 4, 2014

Mr. Pinero was the one shining star of my visit. The office is a horrible place to wait for four hours. Screaming kids, no vending machines, and lack of information from the check-in girl that all non-appointments are handled after all the scheduled appointments. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of Mr. Pinero. He understood the reason I was there, and handled it promptly and efficiently. He deserves much more than just me thanking him. He is what all in the office should strive for. Thank you Mr. Pinero.

****IMPORTANT: Social Security offices are offering more in-person appointments and have resumed in-person services for people without an appointment. To avoid waiting in line, they strongly encourage people to use the online services at https://www.ssa.gov/onlineservices or call them to schedule appointments in advance rather than walking in without an appointment.
