I need to make an appointment for the Oceanside office to notify them about my father passing away. How do I go about making an appointment for this?
Whats the number to call to schedule an appointment in Oceanside, CA.
I've tried calling multiple time including twice today I was on hold for 25 minutes! Then it picked up no sounds on the other end then hung up when I called back it kept giving me a busy tone! So unprofessional.
I’ve been trying to call twice today and last week I’ve tried to call but all you guys do is pick up, no answer, and hang up. That is not professional at all. What are you people doing?
Need to get a social security replacement card for my children, i called and they told me to be here at the office between 12-3pm... currently here at 12:16 pm and no one is here!
I called inquiring about in person appointments to legally change my name after being married with the Oceanside SS office. I was on hold for about 10 to 15 minutes. When I was able to speak to a representative he was very abrupt and rude over the phone. His tone of voice almost sounded confrontational and I've never before had an experience like this with any customer service or support representative in any situation ever. I honestly had to establish to him that he can not speak to me that way and that he was being really rude given I am calling to ask a legitimate question. I am deeply dissatisfied with my experience.

This morning I am trying to call the Oceanside SS office and cannot get through to an agent. I called the 800 number and when the phone disconnected from the SS office. I would like to make an appointment at the SS office in Oceanside but do not have a local number or an option to select when I call their office number.
I need to change my address from Wildomar to Oceanside.
I wanted to know what I need to get a copy of my social security card and how much it is going to cost? If anyone could get me the answer to these questions here that would be great. Thanks. Have a great day.

Prior to my 65th birthday I went to the Oceanside Social Security Admin Office for medicare option election and apply for medicare card. At that visit I was advised and agreed to make telephone appointment to discuss the available medicare options and that they (SSA) will call me. Unfortunately I have to visit their office to inquire why SSA did not call me. It turned out SSA incorrectly recorded my contact information. So at that visit, I completed the option election and it was promised the medicare will be mailed to me in about two weeks. The two weeks past but I did not received the card. So I went back to their office for the third time only to be advised the wait time is more than two hours and it's faster to get a replacement to call an the 800 number. I called the 800 number and after 70 minutes waiting and in less than three min conversation, the clerk said the card was mailed - but I did not received it. So replacement card was again ordered, the clerk said it will be mailed in about four weeks. Its been five weeks since my conversation with the clerk and I have not received my card. So I the 800 number again and again I have to endure the automated response. After five frustrating contacts with the office, it's unbelievable inefficient the office is.
Well first of all, where do you expect us to park our vehicles? There are literally 10 parking spots to accommodate 100 people Come on!! Then when you actually make it inside you wait around To be called ( even with an appointment ) but where are we supposed to sit?? 25, 30 chairs all positioned on top of each other Again to accommodate 100 people. Wow I'm not impressed at all. Thank you California ,glad to see our tax dollars are well spent !
