"This office is way better than the one in Long Beach 20th st."
Angela Best - February, 2020
"Most employees are efficient and provide the right service. One bad thing is that security keeps people waiting outside despite having enough space in the building, also when they check people before entering the building, they treat them as if they were criminals."
Rafael Gamboa Hdz - February, 2020
"Elders waiting on line on the sun feeling sick.\nI ask but security personal said their nothing we can do. They need to waite on line.\n\nI have picture that took at the moment."
Argelia Gavino - June, 2018
"It would be nice if the office provided a drop off mail box 24/7 instead of having to get in line and wait just to drop off documents, it would be extremely helpful fo us that work. Also I suggest the call back service like the DMV, I've been on the line for an hour hiding behind my desk. After waiting on the line they could not help me because the 1-800 office has different information than my local office so I now have to call my local office that I though I was calling in the first place, once I get in contact with them I must request to them to update my information to the 1-800 office. Its a bit confusing."
Abigail Martinez - September, 2019
"This place is a hot mess for SSI. I’ve been here for about 2 and a half hours waiting to speak to a clerk. They are so slow at this location. The guard was friendly but that is the only nice thing I can think of about this place. If you don’t have an appointment they go even slower so plan hours in advance for a long wait."
Jacqueline Montelongo - July, 2019

How do I report a death?

Funeral homes typically handle reporting of a death to the SSA. However, you will need to provide the funeral home with the deceased’s Social Security number for them to do so. Note that deaths cannot be reported online. If you want to report the person’s death yourself, call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. You also visit your local Social Security office in person.

What should I do if I get a call from a potential Social Security scammer?

Scam calls from Social Security have increased, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These fraudsters might claim there is a problem with your Social Security account, benefits, or number. They will often solicit or demand some form of payment in exchange for resolving the problem.
If you receive a questionable call, hang up and immediately report the call directly to the Office of the Social Security Inspector General. As new scams emerge every day, it’s critical to stay informed of the latest scams in order to keep yourself and your finances safe online.
