"Long wait (about 2 hours) if you walk in to file for benefits.\n\nThe employee who helped my sister was knowledgeable, helpful and consistently kind.\n\nAs with most federally run agencies, they have 19 cubicles, but only 7 or 8 staffed with employees to help folks.\n\nThe new thinking is file online or wait on hold for a phone representative (Again long waits on the phone on hold).\n\nGood luck if you go to this location in person for benefits. We got it done but I heard many complaints and grumbling while we waited!"

"I think it is better tho wait on the phone for ss if the brick and mortar facilities are giving wrong info. If yippy have a smart phone and need to provide documentation i recommend finding a free fax app and submit documents that way. There is a fax app that gives 10 free pages. Just make sure the photo of document is absolutely clear before you hit the accept button to send fax. I did it from my home at 8 pm. Utes i spent 90 minutes on the phone, but it was with a competent person."

"The gentleman who has been security there for quite awhile is great. He is friendly and helpful.He does his job with a good attitude. \nThe SS workers at this location can be a mixed bag for sure.\nThe worker who helped me on my last visit was worth their weight in gold. Some of the workers seem to do their job in an adequate manner. Other SS workers I have dealt with at the Noland location have been unpleasant, unhelpful, unkind and downright arguementative.\nI know the job has to be really really repetitive and I'm quite sure they run across all kinds of personalities, good and not so good. Despite that, I go to the SS Noland location for help and info. When we come in that door we should be afforded the right to be treated as humans at the very least. We should not be talked down to, made fun of ( this has actually happened to me ) or made to be felt bad or ashamed at our circumstances.\nThank 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.
