I called on Tuesday during the time this office was opened. No one answered the phone. The phone just rang and rang. No one picked up. I am attempting again. The US government office in Maryland I was on hold for over an hour. I just had two questions and I am or was directed to another office. This has been going on since October. They say they will get back to me in a week and I have to call back every other week and it’s more of the same. I am not happy with being lied to.
was on hold for 2 minutes and then the robot voice just said 'Good bye' and I have real question and real needs.
I was on hold for 46 minutes (22 of those minutes in absolute silence...am I still on hold? Are you there?) After 46 minutes I disconnect and try again. Now on hold 23 minutes.
Extremely rude. I called on 8-11-2021. At 12:16pm after he get mad he put me in hold forever. I used to work in a call center and I know if u don't be hear music on hold that means he just muted u...so I told him I knew the Major in my town and I was going to have my major call his major to place the complain and then he hung up. 50 min 34 sec call. I will be calling the major and the news.

I was wondering when the office plans to reopen for services?
I cannot sign up for medicare online. How can i accomplish this if you are not open for in person visits?
I started receiving social security from my husband in Feb. of this year he passed away may 23rd 2019. I was told to notify social security if my income went higher than $18,440.I'm wondering what I need to do I have recently retired and have gotten my last work check.
To whom it may concern: I got a form from Kennesaw GA, stating to fill it out by May 28, 2020 for medicare or they will take 10% of my social security for life. I'll be 65 yrs old, Nov. 2. Is this a scam? Thank you, Kenneth L Jarocki
