    I called your office last 2 weeks to make an appointment to apply for SSN, I was given it but when i went to your office, my name was not listed there, and the security guard was very rude.

    First time I called I received friendly service. Second time I called I received TERRIBLE service. Mr. E was rude, condescending, and threatened to revoke my appointment, because I asked him to explain redaction. His response, 'You're calling here and you do not know what redaction means?' I needed to understand his terms, because he would place me on hold numerous times w/o notification and went so far as to cut me off when I asked about his holiday weekend. I understand being short staffed and busy, but this is beyond excusable. It is obvious he is unhappy and may dislike his job and does not handle customer service professionally. I called their 1800 number to complain, and they advised me to write a letter. People need jobs, and having one should be a blessing. Mr. E. may be in the wrong line of work.

    Horrible service. Spoke to a rep after waiting on hold for 2hr. Unable to answer my question, and unable to make an appointment as it was deemed "not an emergency'. When asked what DOES constitute and emergency, was unable to give an answer. Apparently nothing is an emergency, or qualifies for an appt? I had to call the main office. Was told what to submit via mail. 1 month later WC office STILL hasn't processed the information given.

    The policies at this office location is extremely inconsistent and incredibly frustrating for my mother, who is SSI recipient. My mother is disabled, hard of hearing, and has limited English proficiency. As her son, I try to help her with navigating through the social security process of receiving the income she is entitled to. However, when I speak to one representative who tells me one thing and I get another representative who tells me another policy, it's difficult to get anything done. For example, I spoke to one rep. who says that in order to verify that I can speak on behalf of my mother, I would need to have her on the line over the phone to confirm her identity. Then, I speak to another rep. after waiting over an hour, who tells me that my mother would need to be present for me to speak on behalf of her. The logistics involved in having my mother present is challenging and for the SS office to be wholly dismissive of this inconsistency with a perfunctory 'I'm sorry, but I can't help you' response is completely unacceptable.
