Palm Springs Social Security Administration Office
Worse phone system and I deal with the VA. You're worse then the VA. Think on that.
I have a telephone interview and Social security has my old number . How can I give my current number.
Lousy service.
I just returned from my first experience with the SS office near me and it was AWFUL! Started with the very. .... cold officer who greets... you? If your attempt is to drive people off then you are good! Why so mean?
How do I make an appointment for my 13 year old son?
How do I make an appointment for a marriage name change?
I'm trying to get a hold of an award letter, how do I go about to getting this kind of letters or application.
There is no selection to leave a message if you are not already networked with a service representative. Calling when the office is open then directs me to call late in the day. Is there an online appointment scheduling option?
Hello, I have been trying to get into contact with Social Security since September 2020 to get my name changed and my Husband needs a new replacement card. I am trying to schedule an appointment and see all that I need. I was informed this office is now back open after being closed and not accepting anyone from Covid.
Try to update address and phone wait time is insane. Can’t make an account online because my child is under the age of 18. Very annoyed.

I need to drop.off a letter for my SSI worker but your off is closed
The yucca valley ssa office is closed! Why?
Do not call them, if you do they put you on hold and then hang up on you ... The worst office in the world !
Ms Stevens prompt answer & prompt solution to my request during this Covid 19 period. Thank you
I need to make an appointment to come in and figure out my brothers benefits. I have called numerous times & left several messages. He has been without benefits since March 2021. Thank you.
We notify Social Security in March that my father had passed away. We now have his death certificate and my mother wants to know how we go about getting his Social Security and death benefits.
Dee Alvarados was very helpful in informing me of my options for retirement.
My interaction with a member of the yucca valley office today March 3rd 2021 was very cold and cruel after I took literally like a minute to explain what I needed I need to go to the office I need to go in the office so I can get my social security card so that I can complete my identity verification for EDD but the person that answered the phone which was mail was so insensitive and so callous and so rude I'm very disgusted with that particular person and if he works at yucca valley office the whole office too.
I need to change my name back to my birth name. I got a divorce and would like to go back to my maiden. How do I do this since the offices are closed ?
I wanted to drop off some dated paperwork. Trying to see if you are open for that and if you are do I need an appointment?
I am disabled, homeless and have mental health issues....walked and got myself to the office on and you are closed? The internet said you were opened. Restaurants are opened for outside dinner but I can't get help from social security office ....truly unbelievable
Absolute worst service ever. The person answering the phone was not nice in the slightest, kept yelling at me and would not help me with my questions. Whoever is in charge needs to fire her. She would not give me her name, or anything after she yelled at me. And her exact words when I needed help were “I’m not helping you, you’ll have to wait until covid is over” I will be telling everyone about this experience. I will also leave reviews about this office on every platform I can.
I was wondering if there is a Social Security benefit or help in getting a car registered and renewing my drivers license.
Hello, I am trying to request a copy of my social security card.

Can I make an appointment with you to discuss my options for SS. Thank you.
I have been trying to get through since December 2018 to get an appt. made for my disabled boyfriend and have been made to wait well over 2 hours just for no one to ever answer. I do not drive due to seizure disorder. This is incredibly ridiculous. He needs help. Now he has to take a bus to go down to make an appt. in person and then go back again. This is a hardship. Money is tight. I am disabled too and I do not receive benefits and have far worse health issues. Our local office is the WORST administration I have ever dealt with. Please hire real people to answer phones instead of these worthless bots!
I was made to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes to speak to a representative but when Kim got on the national 800 line she was so nice to me that I had to leave this review for her she did an awesome job helping me out I just was super frustrated with the wait time to get her on the line. Please have someone let her know that she is an asset to your organization and should be very far with you guys due to her courteousness th hank you again Kim.
In the future, would you seal any and all correspondance to me instead of leaving it unsealed and available to the public at large. Thank you
Why is my son's case being handled in this office??? I live IN PALM SPRINGS! PLEASE SEND THE CASE OUT TO THE CORRECT OFFICE!!!!
I arrived in the Yucca Valley office on Sept 20th, 2018 to correct an error on my SSI and disability application because when my interview was taken on July 23, 2018 with Mr. Kimmel. On Sept. 20,;2018 at 3:00 pm, Max at Yucca Valley location then corrected my information and towards the end of our meeting he asked if he could hold onto my original documents copy and fax my time sensitive documents to the disability analyst that is working on my disability case, well I got a call from her on Monday Oct. 9th, 2018 and she had not received any of my important documents from Yucca Valley location from 'Max'. I also have been waiting for my Important documents to be sent back to me... Today is Oct. 10th, 2018, It's been 20 days after correcting my case file with Max and I still have not received my original important documents from him. Why haven't I received my documents via US mail, after being promised 20 days after the visit to my local SSA office Yucca Valley? And Did in fact Max fax my documents to disability analysis as promised? My original interview was taken over the phone 3 months ago and because of the error Mr Kimmel made on my application I have to suffer?
The waiting period for receiving help over the phone is ridiculously long and my issue has not yet been fixed after waiting over an hour multiple occasions and for days only to get an unsolved problem.
Ive been trying to get a hold of a Mr Perez, in regards to a letter i received in the mail, about not keeping an appointment on 11/17/2017. could not make the appointment because on 11/17/2017 was the day my mother in law Monica Wylie passed away on that day in the hospital! Im confused about how this is unknown to the Social Security Office because a Death Certificate was submitted as well as the information on my mother in laws death. Since 02/02/2018 ive been calling, dialing the extension number and leaving Mr Perez messages after messages and i have not been contacted at all by him! I even went to the Blythe Social Security Office on 02/09/2018 not knowing that your office was handling the reviews and Mrs Copple informed me to keep calling and calling so that is what ive been doing, in hopes that my Stepson David Wylie’s SSI and Medi-Cal does not get stopped because of him being Special needs and in need of his medical benefits. Any information, contact number or a phone call will be greatly appreciative, Thank You
