I need to order another social security card come in personally to pick it up can u please instruct me how things are done
My cousin has been trying to get an appointment in your Jersey City office. What is the best way to get appointment.
I had called them for an appointment for a a new SSN, after which they told me they'd give me a call back within 4-5 weeks. I never got one and when I called them again after 5 weeks, they told me that they don't have my name on the list and took my information again. After this, they asked me to wait for 6-8 weeks. I've been trying to get in touch with them ever since then but now they don't even pick up calls. I understand that you're not opening your offices due to the pandemic scare but at least pick up the calls and give us the appointments! How am I ever supposed to get my SSN in this way? Absolutely ridiculous!
Me llego un carta diciendo q tengo q llamarles pero ustedes no me contestan y necesito saber el por de la carta ?
Hello Team, I have mailed a SSN name change request along with my original passport, I797 and old SSN. Its been 7 working days but no answer. I tried calling to Westside NJ SSN office but waiting time on call is 30 minutes and after that the call gets disconnected . I am not sure how should we contact office , the in person service is not open now.
Trying to enroll online and having a problem. I speak Polish and was told someone would contact me. As of now noone contacted me.
I want to get an appointment to request my Social Security since I have not received it yet, I have already been 8 months since I came to Usa, and I have not heard anything about my Social Security.
I was granted my SSI over 3yrs ago I'm still waiting for my back money. My money is sitting in the processing center waiting for a release but no one will release it.
Necesito una cita o que puedan hacer favor de devolverme mis documentos pues los envie a sus oficinas y no he tenido noticias y necesito mi pasaporte para poder viajar.
No one answers. Very Sad
I just want to ask if its fine to drop off my application form for my changing birth date of my child so it easy to process and safe than i will mail it.
I have taken the appointment little over 3 months ago. They have told me to wait for 4 to 6 weeks it is already past that time duration. Whenever I called them and asked about it, they just don't answer it properly. It has been over a month now they are giving me a same reason, you have to wait for another 2 weeks. The service here is absolutely disgusting. I need that SSN for my job. They keep asking me about it and I have no answer for them.
I want to apply for new Social Security Number for my son as we just received his work authorization(EAD) and he just turn 16. I am trying to reach out to your office. There is no one either pick-up the phone or after picking up the phone don't talk or reply. If they pick-up they just hang up.
It has been absolutely ridiculous getting through to this office and then getting any kind of assistance. My new last name was spelled incorrectly on my ss card and I’ve been trying for two months now to get an appointment to get it fixed but have yet to be contacted. I left voicemails on all the managers answering machines and not one person has called me back. I’m absolutely disgusted with the service here.
I have submitted my documents for 4 weeks and still have not received my SSN card yet. I tried to call them to check my case status but the representative NEVER heard my request and just said it would take 2 months to receive the appointment call and hung up my phone?
I’ve been calling for a whole week, no one ever answers, they have had my documents for 3 weeks and my application for a replacement card is still pending, they could have at least given the option of leaving a voicemail for a call back this is ridiculous.
I am waiting for the back call to make an appointment for ssn application. An agent told me they would call me in 14 work days. But I've been waiting for 4 weeks. I really need my ssn to start my job and i am running out of money to live.
Ms. Bufi is very professional and courteous. I'd like to give her five stars!
Hello, I always call and I never get answer from my case workers, why is that? and now I keep getting different information.
I would like to know when there will be a back-call for appointing my in-person meeting of the SSN application. I was requesting the application of social security number at the end of November 2020. I was told to have been put on a waiting list for a back call from the NJ SSA supervisor. But it has been passing almost four months. I understand that the current pandemic situation will drag the whole process slow down but I may need to finish the application as soon as possible because of my job. Hope to hear from you soon.

I've been waiting to get an appointment for SSN for at least 2 months and now, I cannot even talk to an agent. I am facing problems in my workspace because I don't have my SSN yet. I really need to talk to someone!
Hello, How do I find out if taxes are being deducted from my SS check? It is a direct deposit, so I can’t see if anything is taken out. Thank you.
I am be calling to change my status and address and I can't get help.
I am an F-1 student and I have been trying to get a new SSN card for the past 4 months. I live in New Jersey. I have called up the Jersey City office 1000 times, no valid response. Rude behavior and they cut calls. They ask me to. 'wait'. I haven't received my internship salary because of this and I need to pay my tuition for the fall semester. If possible, please help me.
