"EDIT: We've been back 2 more times since then, both in the mid afternoon. A) They only give appointments for certain transactions. B) Both times, the place was almost empty, and we didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes. So the original post below, based on the Monday after thanksgiving , is probably not typical.\n\nThe statement that 'People typically spend 25 min to 1 hr here' is seriously skewed by people with appointments vs walk-ins. Just left after waiting 40 minutes. There were ~35 other people already there, and they called 2 numbers the whole time. So: make an appointment, (unless you have an emergency, since it can take up to 21 days to get one)."

"It's your classic told one thing on the phone, after waiting on hold for an hour, and then when you take time off from work to go there they say you needed to do something else or bring something else and make you waste an entire second day to come there."

"Very poor service. Arrogant server with attitude. Best time to go there is after 2pm. Before that there is huge queue waiting to be served. Advice to the SS Administration: hire some people, offer services online, reduce the bureaucracy."

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.
