How can I get my 21 year old son social security card?
Mrs. Petty was so helpful to my friend today and worked so hard to resolve our issue! Mrs Petty didn’t give up until all was taken care of! She couldn’t have been nicer to us even when we were weary she was very encouraging that all would work out and it did !! Thank you Mrs. Petty for all that you did !
I have been dealing with KP. She is hands down AMAZING. I can’t thank her enough for all the help she has done. I wish all Social Security Offices can be like this one! Thank you so much Karen!
I just wanted to give a shout out to Mrs. Graham at the Statesboro Social Security office. She helped me last year with Medicare and she helped me this year with my Social Security Retirement. She was VERY Professional, VERY Knowledgeable, and VERY Pleasant! Alan
I'm finding it incredibly difficult to get through to ya'll. The DMV, Walmart, restaurants, my dentist (who is in my face when he works on me) , my doctor ( who is in a tiny little office with me up close ) and hundreds of other businesses will see me in person. How come the SSI staff won't? Enough - open the dang office, ya'll are as bad as school teachers wanting to work from home and not serve the taxpayers.
I have a phone appointment on dec 30 to do an appeal is there anyway I can be seen in person?
I have SSI & I will receive half of my ex-husband's retirement when I turn 65. I am wondering what happens if my SSI is higher what happens w/my half of his retirement? What happens if the retirement is higher than my SSI?
Do I need to make an appointment to come in to discuss my SSI benefits and inquire about drawing SSI early? Thanks. C
Working with Matthew Kyleinsorge today to clear up an issue. He was great. He had me re-fax some paper work, then made sure he got it from his fax system and assigned the work to himself. Excellent working with him and others in the Statesboro office. Thanks again, Glenn
