  2. Mar 16, 2022

    I would like to receive the proper form to complete & mail back in order to increase my tax with holdings from my Social Security monthly pension. What is the direct number for the Clearwater, FL Social Security Office?

  3. Dec 15, 2021

    I called the Clearwater office for guidance regarding preparing and submitting an appeal. The person who I spoke with was very knowledgeable and she helped me find and complete the necessary form. She also explained how to submit the form. I appreciated her kindness and patience, as well as the information! Thank

    Having trouble transferring funds to a different account. SSA rep. said it would be 24 hours and it has been almost 2 days. Would like to know what is happening here. Fraud, maybe? Not so sure. I am broke. Not sure what to do.

    Been trying to call and follow up for my social security number (applying) I have an appointment last nov 2020 but until now I haven’t received anything from them, I already called the homeland security for the verification of my name and as per them they have updated it in the system and try to call the social security office that i have applied to,...unfortunately up to date I still haven’t received any call or email to them please I really need my social security.

  8. Jan 6, 2021

    I have been trying to get an appointment for 2 days. Remaining on hold for 2 hrs. Today I called at 8:15 am and they told me the office was not open, please all back after they open at 8:00 am. I am trying not to throw my phone!

  9. Nov 23, 2020

    Has my social security number been comprised? I got a weird phone call saying it was compromised in Tx. Just trying to follow up. I did leave a complaint msg with feds complaint fraud department. Thank you

    Can I please for the love of god make an APT to come into the office to get a replacement card. I have taken every single step that I can take and 6 months later I cannot get a flimsy piece of paper. You cant do this to people that NEED a replacement card. I bought a plane ticket to go back home to NEW YORK for the sole purpose of getting a replacement card. Thats what I was told in the beginning. They are on lockdown so will not take me. I also paid a hundred dollars by a scam website that requested me to fill out an application for me OWN social security card. 6 Months later NOTHING. You asked me to send in my NY ID to prove it was me i said i will NOT be doing that because I will never get it back. I called social security again and they said send in your Health insurance card. STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY HEALTH INSURANCE CARD!!!! thank GOD I didn't send in my license. I'm not really sure your theory on this because the DMV is open by apt as well as city halls to obtain your birth certificate. Your government bodied agency is the only people being an absolute nightmare. I moved to Florida right before COVID and lost my social security card and birth certificate in the move. I cannot obtain a Florida drivers license without my birth certificate and social security card. I have made 4! different apts trying to get my license down here. This is absolutely insane and I need my social security card NOW. Lastly, I was told to make an act on SSA.gov yep did that and it doesnt recognize my credit card that is sitting right in front of me. Also asks how long my student loan payments are. Let me be very clear NO ONE on the planet knows how many months term they have on there student loans when the student loans were taken out 15 years ago SORRY! Someone needs to contact me immediately. Ive never seen something so crazy.

  11. Nov 5, 2020

    I need to know if I make an SSA account if I can upload documents? I also need to know about bus passes and status of food stamps, etc....

  12. Oct 30, 2020

  14. Oct 12, 2020

  16. Aug 25, 2020

    When will the offices be opened for face to face visits? Can I mail a copy of my marriage license to change my name or do I have to mail in the original?

  17. Jul 21, 2020

    I just got divorced can I just use my previous SS card now? Or do I need to do something else? Also do you have Saturday hours?

  18. May 31, 2020

    It’s the 31st of the month and I’ve still not seen any check in my bank, I’d appreciate if you could contact me via my email address

  19. Apr 23, 2020

  20. Apr 21, 2020

    I need to come in and get a copy of my 1099 Social Security statement 2018 ... are you open??? If so what are your hours ??

  21. Mar 2, 2020

    Went to the office in Clearwater without an appointment. Place was packed but I received the help I needed in less than an hour. Efficient process and staff was courteous and helpful.

  22. Oct 10, 2019

    NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE!!! IS THIS A JOKE????????

  23. Jul 1, 2019

    How do I speak with a human being? I just want to ask about setting up an appointment with a representative about my upcoming Medicare eligibility (Nov 10). I have questions. Also I don't know what I need to bring with me. Simple questions that might save the trip from being a waste of time. Thank you, Gil

  24. Jun 14, 2019

    i need a copy of my award letter can you email it to me

  25. Jan 21, 2019

    I need something to prove I have SS, they want to know the amount. It is PSTA.

  26. Jan 3, 2019

    You are not staffed to handle the phone. Make an alternate method of setting an appointment available. Does anyone read these? Ridiculously poor level of service. Per usual.

  27. Oct 19, 2018

    This is my 5th attempt, no one has responded so far in 3 weeks. When your receiving SS before FRA and the cap before charge back is $17400, is it calculated on the person who is collecting SS or on the household income. i file joint, married. As for a review, i can only say i am not happy, have called 4 times at different times and days and the least wait time was 1 hr 20 mins. very poor.

  28. Feb 20, 2018

    Called to get an appointment. A forty (40) minute wait? Why can I not leave the question and have someone respond in a timely manner? Thank You

  29. Feb 7, 2018

    I was on the phone waiting for an agent for 1 hour and 24 minutes. The call disconnected.
