We wanted to put in an excellent review for Mr. Sylvester Wellington. He was so kind, compassionate, helpful, and just an amazing person. We are very grateful to him and the social security administration is so blessed to have him. He's an amazing person and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to speak with him. He is an incredible person!!

I need to change my name on my social security card. How do I go about that?
I was satisfied. I had to wait about 10 minutes before speaking to anyone (call made at 1 pm). The man I spoke with was polite and efficient and answered all my questions thoroughly. Better experience than I was expecting. I hope getting my new card happens as easily.
By appointment only, which is a joke. Says it nowhere online. Then when you call to make an appointment you can’t get thru when there is NOBODY AT THE OFFICE, cause they are assisting so many other people. oh and the lady answering the door is as rude as can be.
Who made the decision to have the drop box installed in the vestibule, BEHIND LOCKED DOORS, making it completely inaccessible...except on Tuesdays between 0900-1100? TWO HOURS OUT OF THE ENTIRE WEEK?That completely flies in the face of 'convenience' for the public. Tax dollars at work...
I am still waiting on my sons ssc, I need to add him on my child tax care and it should’ve been here months ago.
