    Can u walk in or have to make an appointment?

    Terrible. The woman admitting people is over the top rude and on a power trip. My son and I needed new cards so we went together. He’s a tall but a minor. We were not allowed to go in together. All of our paperwork was in one folder. I had to go in first and wasn’t allowed to step back out to hand him the folder. It was 3-4 steps back. This woman had to hand it to him and had the audacity to go through the folder for his paperwork. We had to be serviced by different clerks and I couldn’t even talk to him as I was being told to leave. There’s really no need to treat people with such disrespect. If you’re not happy with your job - get another one!

    I’ve had the same experience as the below commenters. Attempted to reach someone numerous times over the past 5 months only to be disconnected repeatedly. My applications keep getting denied and sent back to me with 0 explanation (and my name misspelled despite having typed legal documents showing my actual name)

  8. Mar 15, 2021

    Is anyone in the office or answering the phones? If your office is open to accept phone service only, it should have staff there to answer calls.

  9. Mar 10, 2021

    I have called the number numerous and I mean numerous times sat on hold for over an hour and then been disconnected. I need to make an appointment to claim my SS retirement benefits. I am again on hold with your office going on 25 minutes...

    On 12/22/20 I faxed forms CMS 40B and L564 to apply for Medicare Part B. The receipt from my FAX machine confirms that it went to your Fax Number. How do I know that it was definitely received? And would I get a mailing of some sort to tell me that I am enrolled?

    Your office in Freeport was supposed to be open this morning for my parents to come in around 11:15am. Your doors were locked and no one answered the phone. Completely unacceptable!

  15. Nov 16, 2020

    Mr. Diaz , Thank you for your time and effort this morning! You fully explained my options in a professional manner; believe me I appreciate it. Coincidentally, my best friend/Atty called me today and asked when am I going to file for SS already? I told him I just did!

    After remaining on line for 40 minutes, I was asked to remain online while agent 'Jordan' obtained further information. I was then placed on hold and reconnected with your survey and was unable to reconnect with the agent. I do not have the time for this inefficiencies. I am only trying to make an appointment with an agent to discuss SSA benefits for my self and my wife.
