I spoke to someone in the Burbank office yesterday who asked that I call back first thing this morning since the person I needed to speak to was not in yesterday. She has everything ready for me this morning since the correct person is in but I cannot get through. I started calling right at 9am as asked and get cut off every time.
There is no good way to reach the burbank office. The 888 number always says ' All the agents are busy' and just hangs up. The 800 number does not have much information.
I need to make an appointment to make SSN. I was waiting on the phone... Nobody answered.

I previously applied for a Social Security card on December 29th and I have not yet obtained it. I called and she informed me that it was sent in January, but unfortunately I did not receive it yet, knowing that I presented to my son on the same date, the same address, and it arrived to him about a month ago.
I would like to know how I can obtain my social security since I am currently living outside the United States and I need it to be able to request other documents, I remain pending, thanks for your help, regards.
Good

I was in today 1/6/20 .. I spoke with a man about my issue on how they were taking funds out of my social Security for Medical. I didn’t sign up for it when I started with Social. I had a lawyer for this , I won my case an then I was assigned with a meeting at Burbank location . I had the opportunity to take medical along with Social security, but was talked out of it .. because I was going to receive my husband’s medical. I was told if I’d take medical.. I would have to pay back into the system. So I signed a form there not to take the Disability? I explained a little to the man ? An he said oh that’s something diffident .. yes I know that’s why had this appointment when I signed up from the beginning. Now I was informed I am not going to get back the money they took out for medical? Please I need a appointment with someone to go over everything From when I first started Social.. never signed up for medical An I never received a form in November 2019 ??
Dear Sir/Madam: I was previously there in 2008 and was given the chance to apply for my social security number. I was given a temporary letter but was not able to get hold the original card. I heard that SSN is forever but sad to say I left US Nov 2008 and did not have the chance to follow it up. I am planning to take NCLEX-RN and I need my social security number. I am hoping if you could help me with my problem with regards to my social security number. I was hoping to contact you through email but it says you don't have. I am at the moment residing in Singapore. Hope I can get an asap reply. Respectfully yours, Menchie
Hello, My name is Jessie. I kept receiving a call from 866-513-1561 and saying that my SSN was suspended. I just want to double check to make sure it is a scam or not. Thank you.
I need to re-apply for part B medicare and am here on a limited time. I need an appointment.
There is over a 1 hour wait to get through on your 1-800 phone number. Not great customer service.
What a beautiful location in Burbank, Ca. The building was very impressive. My wait was not long. The lady that helped me (Mrs. Ejimofor) was so pleasant and took care of my concerns in less than a few minutes. Thank you!! Annette Apelian
Want to make an appointment with a live person in the Burbank Social Security Office. Every time I have tried to telephone there is an hour or more wait. I just want to make an appointment so I can discuss my options. It says to make an appointment otherwise I will have a long wait, well it has been a long wait on the telephone trying to make an appointment.
