I need to make a name change after a divorce
I had very impressive experiences with a few of the employees at the Flint Social Security Administration Office located at 1149 Robert T Longway Blvd. Flint, Michigan 48503, which is at the corner of Robert T. Longway & Southbound Chavez Dr. across from Holiday Inn Express. -- My 5-star review relates to the specific individuals that I mention below, in which I feel honored to have come in contact with these individuals. The most recent positive experiences were with Mr. Buck and Mrs. Shelley, and in the past, Phillip Bartholomew has been extremely helpful and effective. There is also a friendly security guard in the lobby who is always helpful and he was especially comforting during an incident of mistaken identity. Mr. Buck and Mrs. Shelley's professionalism, knowledge, perspective, communication, and eagerness to help were outstanding, and they noticeably tried to do the right thing regarding challenging issues with social security. I can understand that working at the social security office can be very challenging, especially given that many times the office is dealing with vulnerable people with disabilities and more. Some employees handle their positions better than others, and both of these people effectively handle their jobs, - but they also went above and beyond to handle and fix mistakes made by other employees, and actually not only did their jobs, but they also handled the jobs of other employees that 'purposely' ignored their job for months. I am the social security payee for a severely mentally ill individual. Given this, there are significant behavioral issues to handle, to say the least. These dedicated individuals, Mr. Buck and Mrs. Shelley went above and beyond to help me straighten out situations that needed handling, despite the overload and pressures of work, especially during Covid. They could relate to the situation I was in and pushed through challenges quickly. Both of them were warm and friendly, willing to work to handle the situation fast and effectively. In the past, at the same office, Phillip Bartholomew has been helpful and effective. He joins the above-mentioned employees that have good communication skills, communicating clearly, and who are effective in their work. They all did what they said they would do. Each of them listened and handled their positions properly, with respect for their valuable services, and remained strong and positive during difficult times. I appreciate and respect all of them, and I am grateful for their help.
I've tried calling everyday this week. Was on hold for an hour plus each time, then disconnected. All I want is to make an appointment for my name change from my divorce and it's been impossible! During this time of a pandemic the office should accept photo copies to get a new social security card!
I need to change my name due to a divorce but have no printer
I tried to update my address but ran into problems with both the phone system and the website. An agent was supposed to call me, but it never happened PLEASE contact me so I can update my address and receive my stimulus
Didn’t receive my social security check today straight deposit
This is terrible customer service at its best. I’ve been going through the motions for a month trying to get a social security card. They’ve sent back things twice saying they aren’t the right things. As of today, they have my original marriage certificate, birth certificates for my children, ID cards for my children, my drivers license, my social security card and my children’s report cards (ALL ORIGINALS)! I asked if they could give me my documents back in the parking lot or anything because I have an appointment with Secretary of State that I made at the beginning of June. That appointment is this Thursday. It’s Tuesday. They said “no we will mail them”. Why? I’ve been going through these motions all of July. Why would you initially not give me my documents knowing how hard it is to get appointments with any place these days? It’s heartless, cold and a power trip. It only takes one choice to be a good person and do the right thing. It’s too bad that some people just don’t get it. Note: They’ve has my documents for over a week. Who can actually go without their drivers license or ID for longer than a week. It makes no sense. If they can’t open the doors to appointments and people, they need to come up with a better system. No one should have to go through this!
