Hello, If i have a zip code of 85284 or live in Chandler. Which Social security office do I go to?
Talked to a representative in the Mesa office by the name of Jason. He solved my issue by the end of the call. Very pleased.
I need to schedule an appointment to change my name on Social Security. How can I make an appointment?
Hello, can I come to this location to change my name? If yes, how do I make an appointment? Thank you
Trying to get an appointment to see someone at the MESA Office. It is like pulling teeth. The number is out of service, you cannot go to the office without an appointment so you need to call the National Number and wait forever to get a live person. This needs to be resolved and as COVID protocols are really not necessary the offices need to open. I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received so far. I hope this gets resolved quickly! Time to open things up!!
Update US Naturalization status
I would like to make an appointment to speak to someone
Mesa Social Security doesn’t answer anymore either.
I commend door security person L. Williams for her professional and courteous handling of customers who did not want to wait their turn in line at the Mesa Arizona SSA office. Ms. Williams kept two upset men from disrupting others and causing a scene. There were about 20 people waiting in the very high heat. She had to prioritize those with appointments, mediate who had 'drop-offs' and moderate the confusion from people looking for a drop-off box vs. a drop-off window. Ms. Williams did an excellent job under not only the crowd pressure and the heat pressure, but also under the stressful pressure from a couple of men who thought their needs came before all others waiting in line. And Ms. Williams handled this upsetting situation with calm and grace, avoiding what could have escalated quickly . L. Williams is very good at her demanding job.
How would I make an appointment?
I return to my home at Mesa after 8 months at Houston, TX. After 2 day of arrival called the office to update my Information like change address. They call me to send them the request documents to update. I sent by fax and by mail all required documents. No response for more than 40 days. At last one office worker told me that my case and other sent documents stick with some one in the office. I would like to transfer my case to Phoenix office.
I need to drop off an application to get onto Medicare, can I do that at your office?
I have tried to call 4 times to make an appointment to get a social security number for my son and also my husband and the first time the connection was so bad the person couldn't hear me and I had to hang up (this is the first time this has happened) and the 3 times after that it tells me that the service request to talk to someone is unavailable. Can you please tell me how in the world am I supposed to make an appointment if your phone system doesn't work and I cannot reach someone to make an appointment as required?

No Help. Cannot go in to an office. period,. cannot tell my my online services are suspended? IF I cannot find out online, then what can I do. I have just always left it to SS, trusting them. I draw so little I do not pay file income tax. NOW next year I get at $13.00 a month raise? I live alone and cannot even afford a car to drive. Ask a question? Oh we cannot tell you that over the phone. Right? and cannot go into an office? UNREAL
I didn't get my check!
On 11/30/20 I called the 800 -772 -1213 to get an appointment with a representative at the Mesa AZ office when the robot phone said the wait time was 2 hours. So I put the phone on speaker and kept working for 2 hours and 14 minutes until I had to leave. With the warning on this web page not to go to the office without an appointment, I don't know how to solve our problem.
My husband and nd I just got married. I will be relocating to Mesa in December. I will need to change my name at your office prior to applying for my AZ drivers License. Will I need to schedule an appointment or are walk-ins allowed at your location?

Can you change your address for Medicare and Social Security at this facility?
I literally just got off the phone with someone from SS at the phone #1-800-772-1213 and I asked if I needed an appointment to go into the Mesa office to ask some questions about drawing benefits. She said 'no, just go there.' But I see in your 'TOP TIPS FOR VISITING THIS OFFICE' it says make an appointment. Ugh! I haven't even begun the process and feel a little concerned.
How do I contact mesa social security if I don't know anyone there or ext..
I don't need Plan B because I already have insurance thru my wife's employer.
I went to the Mesa office to figure out how to get a last name change because I was just recently married. The door greeter/security guard was extremely rude! She asked what we were there for and I told her a last name change and she said here are the locations you can do that but the birth certificate has to be changed at vital records. First I am not changing a birth certificate so if she was listening to the customers instead of having an attitude she would realize what I was asking. I told her being a door greeter you should change your attitude because when I told her it was a name change she looked at me like I was an idiot and said I gave you the locations on where you need to go then went on to tell me I needed to change my attitude. Really? I asked you a question and you treat them like idiots. Is this customer service now a days?
