I need an appointment to get help to file disability for my son.
Quiero una cita, por que por telefono no responden
I would like to make an appointment to discuss my retirement and apply for my social security benefits.
Real bad service , I have mailed 3 times my birth certificate with other documents required and I keep getting a denied letter because of insufficient documents , and I can’t get my license without my social security card
How can I make an appointment
Qué se necesita para tramitar mi número social? Se tiene que sacar cita, o solamente con acudir ?
Necesito cita para sacar mi numero social por primera vez, llame el lunes y dijieron que me avisaroan y nada, tengo desde el miércoles marcando y no responden.
My documents are lost. No one ever called me despite them requiring that I place a note for contact to have the items picked up. No one knows when it was sent out, via what method, if there is a tracking number, if voicemail is left, what number calls, or what is needed. It's amazing how an entire department can be so incompetent. If it's too difficult to coordinate remotely maybe you should open the doors to the public.
How do we do a change of address for SSI and SSA benefits.
My social security and my son's were stolen, how do I report it and get replacements.
This office lost my documents after i applied for a new SS card with my married name. They lost my drivers license, birth certificate, and marriage license. They're taking no responsibility. Now I have to pay to have everything replaced... over 100$. They could care less.
Mal servicio, me mandan a llamarlos localmente para hacer una cita y en ninguna parte de la llamada te ofrece esa opcion. Burocratas.

Han perdido mis documentos, no hacen el debido reclamo a USPS y tampoco me facilitan la informacion para hacerlo yo. El trabajo de la Supervisora Gonzalez es pésimo. Es necesario que sean abiertas las oficinas ya.
They lost my documents by mailing it to a wrong address. They don't claim to USPS and they treat me bad when I call them on the phone. The manager Mrs. Gonzalez does a horrible job. The office NEEDS to open.
