Vero Beach Social Security Administration Office
I wanted to know what I needed to do in regards to changing my name. I just got married.
I am waiting for them to send me a form that I must fill out for my appointment, and nobody answers the phones at the port saint lucie office. There is no way to communicate with someone in this office, I don't know what I should do?
I’ve been trying to get ahold of these people all morning, and other days , 4 calls later all 30 minute wait times then was disconnected each time . Absolutely ridiculous! Just trying to change my last name after my marriage. I sent the form and marriage license to the office in Port St. Lucie and two weeks now with no response or even a person to answer the phone .
I have called throughout the entire day. One of the wait times was over an hour and half before I was disconnected. But at one point I did get someone to answer the other line. I mentioned that I needed to make a dire need of a appointment for the Port Saint Lucie location. She set the phone down and never spoke through the phone again. And allowed the phone to stay connected through 54 minutes. I decided to drive to the Port Saint Lucie office with the phone connected. But the women must have hung up 3 minutes before I showed up at the door. I was approached by a security guard and he thought it was humorous to decline my need of help to make a appointment. He said there was nothing he could do to help but to tell me to continue to call.
2 HOURS ON THE LINE AND NO ONE IS PICKING UP AT THE PORT SAINT LUCIE OFFICE. DOES ANYONE WORK THERE? I HAD TWO LINES ON HOLD TO GET TO A REAL PERSON NO ONE PICKED UP. AFTER A TWO HOUR HOLD THEY HANG UP ON YOU AND THE PHONE LINE DOES NOT WORK, OF COURSE YOU CAN'T GO INTO THE OFFICE, FOR THEIR PROTECTION.

Change my social security status
The first woman I spoke with at this office was horrific. I am my mother's designated payee and I simply wanted to verify the direct deposit account. The woman claimed I was not listed as the payee (even though it is right there on the my social security website and I have been my mother's POA and payee for over 4 years). I told her so and she HUNG UP ON ME. When I called back I got a different woman with an accent. She was absolutely lovely. Found my mother's account and verified me as her payee without any issues and was able to answer my questions.
No one answers the phone they push you off never follow up horrible service
