Went to your office with a copy of marriage license you requested, you wanted an original to view so you can verify a true copy, I was turned away by the rent a cop saying I could not come in. Yet 5 other people were helped to apply for SS cards.
Is this yuma office now open since arizona has opened up everything fully? Ive been trying to change my name for over a year now and still no appointments given, no one answers the phone, and after reading all of the terrible reviews below i dont want to send in my originals to not get them back. Can someone please tell me if the office is now open since everything else is and has been?
I submitted my court paperwork due to a name change. I got my new social security card, but my original court paperwork was not mailed back to me. I've called 4 times now and no one can provide an answer as to where my documents are at. At this point, can they provide me monetary funds so that I can go get the original court paperwork again?
My access office called me and said you still don't have my mailing and home address the same and it is the same I've called you 12 times and you still haven't got it right what's going on I've tried to call again but the line is busy for 2 days straight

I am mailing requested documents to the Yuma office address and because I’ve moved to Yuma and since the office is closed except by appointment I just wanted to make sure someone would be there to pick it up. Thank you’d ca
my grandson and I called to make an appointment to change his last name on his social security card and was told we would have to mail all the info in that they are not doing appointments. At the cost of the documents that have to be sent in and no guarantee that we would get them back. We were told that he most likely he will not get his court papers back. why is this office not doing appointments?
I need to make an appointment. Still have not been able to.
m received a call that I did not answer saying that it was a call from SS, I am under the impression that SS does not call they send a letter. Am I right on that or is this someone trying to scam me?

We are in Yuma and wanting to become residents of Arizona! We checked in about getting a driver’s license and needed a Social Security card! My wife has hers with her but it is laminated so it wouldn’t get destroyed and they would not take it as it has to be paper! Mine is metal that is in storage up in Washington! So we need to get papers Social Security cards! Is the office open on 18th Street in Yuma?
I need to ask for my daughter's social security
Are you open. I need to make an appointment
I wandering if your office in yuma az are opening
I need to change my Name I married and Address
Need verification of income and a s.s card.
Typical Feds nothing works right, Wait time over 40 minutes can not log on to open an account then it tells me it is blocked electronically and I have not even gotten in What a mess
It is so difficult to get to someone who can actually help you! I waited in line, got my time with the SS agent, and he assured me that I would now be able to make a My Social Security account on line. But I am still blocked. It is so frustrating. I would do all this online if I was able, without bothering them. And I have to wait long again and again to try to resolve things. I think they are hoping citizens will just get discouraged and not bother. But didn't we work for this money? It belongs to us, not the government. Managerial issues here, I think!
How in the name of ========== can you make an appointment with an 1 1/2 hour hold time???????????
Seeing as it takes over 49 minutes (I hung up at 49minutes)to talk to anyone on the toll free number, it would be greatly appreciated if there was a number to call at the local office . . I have a procedural question; can I and what is the process of deducting federal income tax from monthly benefits? I saw no opportunity to ask that question online and had no more time to waste on hold.. Thank you. Nancy barnes
