"They need to more staff at this location. For lunch they need better coordination. Only one window open during lunch!"
Cesiah Figueroa - January, 2020
"The hours on Wednesday are 9 to 12 and I arrive at 8:56 5he office is open and already 18 people waiting before me. I recieved a letter last week my handicapped daughter will stop receiving benefits if I dont come to this office before Nov 8th and if I have any questions to call mrs m with an extension, I left several messages asking if I needed to bring my daughter never received a response\n Our tax dollars at work"
Cheryl Albo - November, 2019
"The wait can be somewhat mitigated by showing up early, having an appointment, and / or arriving right when they open. The staff I interacted with did a good job being friendly and helpful. I was impressed with the amount of staff who spoke Spanish. When you walk in, there are two machines you use to sign in. While there was a sign saying this, it wasn’t too noticeable. Several people missed it and stood around confused. Staff were too busy working to notice or correct their error. The people who were waiting normally did, so kudos to them. Better signage for the sign-in stations would be good, though. Over all, it’s a government office — it’s only going to be so good — but I had an easy time and appreciate everyone’s willingness to help one another."
Alex Anthony - May, 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.
