I have called SSA 3 times, placed on hold and disconnected twice. I need to talk to someone. Was hung up on again!
Hello I’m trying to see how to expedite a new social security card for my daughter and I.
I would like to compliment Ms. Perez after speaking with her this morning. She was professional, kind and patient. She resolved my two (2) issues in a timely manner. I would like to rate her as a 5* CSR. Sincerely, Lona
When I called this afternoon I had a very short wait time and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Mike. He was very helpful and courteous and I have to say it was not the experience I expected after seeing all the other reviews.
My son's SSI has been suspended for 6 months due to a USPS error and I can't even get a call back from you ppl. What's the point of having a caseworker if shes not going to help with my case?
I have applied for the social security card and I haven’t received my card yet.
He solicitado mí retiro pero tengo que comunicame pero no responden a mi llamadas ni a los mensajes que le he dejado al teléfono que me envió.
Buenos días solicité mi tarjeta de seguro social y no he recibido todavía mi tarjeta me dijeron que en dos semanas la recibiría y nada.
Hola buenos días aplique para el seguro el y mi nombre lo escribieron mal, por lo que no me ha llegado he estado llamado pero no puedo comunicar ya que donde llamo no hablan español y quisiera saber como proceder muchas gracias.
I would give this place Zero Stars if I could! Apparently no one knows anything. They told me I didn’t need an appointment at first. Then turn me away at the door after I missed a day at work. Tells me to call a number which then tells me to send my documents in but sends me a letter back saying I need to come in with my original documents all to correct one letter in my middle name. Need to be retrained on professionalism & organization. HORRIBLE PLACE FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NEEDS!
I’m just trying to make an appointment to get a replacement Social Security card
Sent me back my verifications but sent social of my son to a different address. Spoke to a guy representative and he hangs up the phone in my face. This is absolutely the most inconvenient, messed up issue and I’m the one dealing with this facility consequences.
I have been trying for so much time to contact SS by phone and no results. How am I going to solve my situation if I cannot do it personally? I need to change my address ASAP and have my SS Tax Return Income for 2020 or my Accountant will not file it.
Necesito saber cómo actualizar mi seguro social

Very professional answering service
My phone notified me this morning my stimulus check is in where is it
Kept my daughter's official birth certificate. When I tried to walk back to the window it was already closed. There are no direct numbers into the office for me to call and find it. Security would not help me talk to any of the office staff to get it back.
