I’ve been trying to reach someone who can help me! I called everyday for a week and final got someone. The lady was not able to help me and gave me the number to the Lakewood office to talk to a caseworker. I’ve been trying all day yesterday and today and wait in the Queue and then get disconnected.
Dear Team, I called your 1.800 number waited over an hour, then they gave me the 866.563.9469 for the Lakewood, CO. office on Alameda. It was busied out. There is no way to reach anyone. I have been trying for months to contact someone/anyone for help.
Always helpful.
I've literally been waiting months for my new born's SSN. I need to provide it to my health insurance provider. I'm worried we'll be dropped. When I called today to check the status of it, the employee told me 'I can't help you' and hung up.
I am trying to get connected with Supplemental Social security. We called and a message and we haven't heard back.
I applied for social security number on the 3th of December 2020 I haven't received it yet.
Applied for Social Security card over a month ago and still have not received my card.
I need to make an appointment to get a replacement card. ASAP. I have applied for a job and can’t get it til I have my card.
I talked to a guy on the phone whom I examined I didnt receive my check this month and it was supposed to go into my bank account ( which I only have one). He refused to telle.gis name and hung up on me. He also told me.i wouldn't be receiving money this month, are you kidding me
I need to make an appt for question medicare coming to my birthday on Dec 19th will be 65. I need interpreter for hearing Impaired ASL.
This office is lousy. By law they are required to schedule appointments but refuse to do so. They line you up in the parking lot at 6am like cattle. COMPLAIN to your elected representative about this. By LAW they are required to schedule an appointment but for some reason this office refuses to do so. Call your US Senators.
My husband will be turning 66 in September and I will turn 66 in November. We both currently work full time and do no claim our SS yet. However, we are interested in doing so upon turning 66. We would like to talk to someone in person who can explain our benefits regarding employment and taxes and inform us how it all works. Can I make an appointment or do we just go into the Lakewood office?
