    Hi, could you tell me how to go about changing my last name to my married name?

    My wallet got stolen and all my ID I am trying to get another Social Security card how do I do so.?

    Hi, I dropped off my birth certificate, passport, and other papers to change my name on my SS card. I received a card with the wrong spelling of my new last name. Besides that, I am wondering when I will get my papers back as it's been over a month and I need them for my honeymoon. I was told I would receive the documents back in 2-4 weeks. Thank you!

    I have called twice and was hung up on by the automated services. All I am trying to do is get my disabled mother a replacement social security card. Can I just walk in or do I have to make an appointment? I can't take her all the way down to the office just to be turned away. It is difficult for her to travel. This is frustrating.

    I have been waiting for my part B to be reinstated. I call everyday. I did receive a letter asking for additional payment which I sent in. The only response since is that it’s in the billing office. I was recently refunded the monies they asked me to send. What is going on. No one will give me a straight answer.

    Hi, I have a concern about the funds taken from my social security every month that is towards Medicaid. I've been to doctor's visit and now getting charged a co-pay. Don't understand why?

    I got married in September and sent in all of my docs for my name change. I haven’t received any of them back as of yet. I sent them about 7 weeks ago.I’ve called multiple times and get the same answer each time. “We don’t have a record of your docs, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t receive them. Only 1 person opens the mail.” At what point do I start to freak out that all my docs are lost in the shuffle or quite possibly never got to you? This is getting ridiculous.

    I had gone to the Melville office in person just before Covid 19 problem and I was to have an interview and start getting my payments of about $3700-3800 a month plus a lump sum of about $29,000 for the previous 6 months but then the office closed due to Covid 19. I cannot reach anyone by phone at the social security office as the phone call is forever on hold, I am talking 2-3 hours then gets disconnected. I cannot register online as some information you have on me does not match what I have.. What else can I do? I need my payments.

    Horrible experience over the phone with this office. I just needed to make an appointment to get ssn. I was told that certain special situations would allow me to make an appointment, and I had one. The woman I spoke with was the rudest person I've ever spoken to and she hung up on me in the middle of the conversation. Ridiculous. People like that need to be fired immediately. I wish I could tell you who but she refused to tell me her name.
