My documents dropped in drop box are never received. 3 times they have been lost. I have called them 8 times and have been left on hold for 2-3 hours and no one ever answers. Does anyone work at this office on Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas? I have tried to resolve my problem for 4 months and have yet to speak to a representative. They do not respond to fax either. How do we file a complaint against this horrible lack of customer service that makes matters worse for disabled persons.
Never received my daughter's ss card after birth, it's been year and a half. I can't go online because I don't have her number, how do I get it?

Sent in forms survivor benefits and sent a follow up fax have NOT heard from anyone from Buffalo Office even though I RESPECTFULLY requested a verification of getting them.
This place is horrible. I don’t understand why a government office is so unorganized and so unprofessional.
I've been calling this office number for a week & I either get a busy signal or the number cuts off while waiting to speak to a representative
