I know when we have less than satisfactory service we sometimes go through many lengths to let others know of our issues. I want to say I would go to extra lengths to sing the praises of an employee of the Norcross Social Security Office. I was very distressed when I called her regarding my social security issue. She was able to answer my concerns and was personable but professional. It has been a few days and I can't get through the office to verify her name I did not get the correct spelling of her name (I think it was Vanessa or Versa) sad I can't read my own writing. (So you know she had to be an angel in helping me out). I know she worked remotely and she is at the Norcross office. If anyone recognizes her or sees that she has notes on my case--please let me know she has been recognized by her supervisors. Thank you!
Hello, I want to make an appointment to update my immigration status to a citizen, where can I do it online or should I call this office?
Hello, I would like to know how to apply for social security card as immigrant in Georgia
How do I apply for disability for my minor sons? Are the offices open or do I apply over the phone?
I FOUND OUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN CHANGE MY DIRECT DEPOSIT IS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT...I CALLED THIS OFFICE AND EXPLAINED WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS..THE PERSON TOLD ME I COULD NOT DO THAT...AND HUNG UP ON ME...I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A WAIT TIME..BUT I HAVE NO MONEY.CANT PAY MY BILLS..I WILL BE HOMELESS.
The office was found to be closed with only the front outside door open leaving access to the drop box. No guard was present and all lights in the office appeared to be off. Un-protected access to the drop box puts customer data at risk.
HOW CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT BACK PAYMENT.
Thanks for everything!!!
I keep trying to set up my social account and it keep saying the information I entered is not the information Social Security has on file. all information stay except it keeps taking my Social Security number out and I get that error message. I have not filed in the last 3 years but this is the information I used then. I need the Stimulant too and need to talked to someone.
On behalf of my mother, I wanted to say that Ms. Duplechain was both compassionate and professional. She explained the proper procedure on how to obtain benefits for my mother in a simple yet detailed manner. She was pleasant and after the phone call we both felt encouraged. In times like these we need more compassionate and patient professional customer service administrators who make a painful life event tolerable. thank you Ms. Duplechain.
They are slow moving and don't seem to know anything about your case when you call. I've been waiting on paperwork since January 6th.... Still nothing.
Stole my birth certificate and ID, said that they could not replace my social security. When I called and asked where my documents were they said they would be mailed shortly, months later I haven’t gotten my documents back.
Can I apply for my sons social security number online if it is for the first time? He was born abroad, he has a USA passport.
I’m so annoyed by this particular office. I been two other offices and they have been on point with turning in documents, giving me notices and depositing funds into my disabled kids account. Now that I’ve went to this location they keep delaying the process and or say they will tend to my case this week when it was already suppose to be handled months ago. It’s crazy because during these times they really need to address the situation instead of holding for whatever reason. If my problem isn’t resolved by Thursday or Friday I will be getting a lawyer who specializes in these kind of cases. No need to appeal because I’m grateful for the funding but very disappointed because at this point I know my case is being neglected and almost faced an eviction due to them reporting my kids dad income when I sent in a document proving that we were separated. I will keep everyone updated.
I need to get my social security number for the first time, can I do it online or what do I need to do,
I lost my social security card. What documents are necessary to create a new SS card?
Please could i have make appointment?
Sorry to say Worst Service during the Pandemic !! I understand the SSA Offices are working with less number of Employees but even though I feel the Norcross Location would be the worst out of all in USA. I called the SSA regarding the discrepancies in one of my Tax Year Statement of SSA. The Representative asked me to mail the relevant documents as an evidence of the discrepancy to be corrected. I had spent Money and sent the Documents by First Class Mail so that the SSA could receive my Documents at the earliest and resolve my issues, but even though tracking by USPS has confirmed the delivery of my Mail 3 Weeks ago, the SSA Employees are no able to trace my Documents which is received as the Front Desk from the Mail man. It is so pitiable state of SSA here that nobody is willing to answer our queries despite of repeatedly calling them.
I was recently furloughed from my job. I do collect Social Security as I’m 72 years old. My question is now that I only will have Social Security payments will those payments increase. As the amount has been reduced over the years due to my total income. Also, my wife is 73. Will her monthly payment increase now that I am retired ??
Have been trying to make an appointment with the Norcross office periodically over the past several months. Called the main number twice -- was told they could not make an appointment booking for me online as all available slots were filled (based on what was visible to them for making appointments online) . I was told by the agent I was speaking with (on both calls made) that I would receive a notification via mail of appointment availability. I never received a notification via mail to either of the two requests for appointment at the Norcross office I was able to communicate via phone. I attempted to call again today and was unable to get to an agent. I used online chat to request a call back; never got a call back within the specified time-frame. Went back online to attempt to communicate a repeat request online, was unable to make another request for a call back (the online message center said this service was 'closed' although it was well within the stated hours of operation). It appears that I have no recourse but to 'show up' without an appointment to address my particular issue. I have filed necessary paperwork with supporting documentation to address my particular issue and mailed to Norcross office via trackable mail per the directions provided -- I have verification of receipt of my mailing package by the Norcross office from the USPS, but no response from the Norcross office acknowledging receipt.

Crowded.. crowded.. went on a Thurs day at 1130 am. No parking available.. had to park down this long street two buildings away. Once inside, no seats in waiting area. Then still had to sign in for a number. Facility is too small for customers. Not enough staff work there. Go early, and get a number immediately upon arrival. Total time: 2 and one half hours.
