"More like “zero†stars. Took my mom to just do an address change. Simple request since it couldn’t be done over the phone. She has Alzheimer and gets confused and doesn’t say the correct things at times, and she looks at me for confirmation. He wouldn’t even look at me while I was trying to explain my mom’s condition. He later explained to me that he couldn’t accept me answering for her for legal purposes, I get it...I really do. But, he could of been just pleasant the first time I tried to explain. I understand they don’t have an easy job but come on! Others wrote about compassionate attention, I’m glad you got it.... we didn’t. It was a young American guy that attended us with glass. He was very aggressive interacting with us. It’s sad how we humans treat each other!"

"It is a good system and the representatives are polite and respectful.\nMichelle Gambrell was most helpful, and Ms Watson was thorough and understanding. Easy access and plenty of chairs to sit as the place is crowded but it moves quickly."

"I took my mother here when my step dad passed away to see if she can get social security. People are not compassinate and very rude.\n If you don't want to work there don't work there we all are trying to get things done."

"Over an hour wait time on the phone just to make an appointment. This is our tax dollars at work. Just another example that our government is truly broken! LOL"

"Initially I thought this was going to be a nightmare, I was pleasantly surprised when my experience was great :-). I did some research on what I needed to bring with me and was prepared with the correct documentation. I walked into a full room of people 10 minutes before the opening time of 9am and thought I will be here all day. I signed in, took a seat and was called to see a representative 7 minutes after they opened. I sat down and was greeted by a Ms. Rivera and she took care of my 2 issues very professionally and compassionately. Needless to say I appreciate how wrong my image of this office was upon reading some of the ratings on Google. My advice is to come prepared with the documents needed to accomplish the activity you're trying to complete.\nThank you Ms. Rivera for your help, it was a pleasure meeting you!"

Navigating the Social Security Office during COVID-19
Today, applying for Social Security benefits or a card can usually be handled online or by phone, without
needing to make an appointment at your local Social Security office. We break down the answers to some of the
most frequently asked questions around navigating Social Security from home.
Which Social Security benefits am I eligible for?
Your Social Security income is made up of 3 potential benefits. Your earned benefit, your spousal
benefit and your survivor benefit. The eligibility for each of these benefits depends on a number of
factors including your income, marital status, and length of marriage.
Find out the benefits you are eligible for and what your income with our 2-minute quiz.
For most people applying for benefits, you can apply online or over the phone, and skip going to the office altogether. Use a checklist to ensure you have all the information and documentation you need to apply.
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.
Our guide on Social Security survivors benefits helps to navigate your options in order to make the most of what you are owed after a death.
If your Social Security card is lost or stolen, you can get a replacement card free of charge.
Log into—or create an account on —
My Social Security,
and you can apply directly there. However, you will need to provide original documentation in order to create an account.
Our guide explains what you need to replace the card.
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.
Read the summary above to see if you need to go in to the office. If you are looking to get answers
to questions but don’t need the office, check our FAQ.
You may need documents like your US passport, US birth certificate, Social Security card, divorce
decree or others.
See our checklist for full details depending on your situation.
