    I need to make an appointment to come into the Covington office to ask about my Social Security payments. Do I have to make an appointment? If so how do I do it?

    I spoke with representative Tara over the phone today. She was absolutely AWESOME. First let me say, I have been trying to complete setting up my benefits for over a few months. I have called and been promised a follow up to no avail. It was so refreshing to speak with Tara today. She was able to address all of my concerns with such a caring and patient demeanor. Tara, thank you so very much, you made my day!

    Hello, I am trying to replace my SS card. What do I do?

  8. Sep 9, 2020

    Me and my wife need to do a address change.

    After several attempts (due to misinformation by the Covington SSA) to obtain my son’s SS card, I decided to call again. This time, unlike the times the before, the lady I spoke with over the phone was the absolute worst. She had zero... Z-E-R-O people skills, rude, unprofessional, and unpleasant. The call was made at 1:49pm on Friday 7/10/2020 in case a supervisor would like to hear the very short conversation. I’ve tried for weeks now to obtain the card with no success. It would benefit everyone if A. the correct info was given out to the public, the first time B. the staff improved on their professionalism. I’m a professional firefighter for almost 20 years, I get people having bad days, this was not the case at all. Very disappointed and dissatisfied with the office. Hopefully my son will receive his card this go-round.

    It waited for 45 minutes for service with very few other clients in there. I knew more about Social Security than the representative did. Was given in correct information and the agent was well below average to do the job she holds.

  11. Feb 19, 2020

    Unprofessional rude awful negative agent, My Dad passed and couldn’t get them to stop making payments, this office if it would be a ordinary business it would go out of business, shame on you all, we taxpayers be serve better trained service and people working there, will never ever visit this office ever again.

    Need to make an appointment. Calling the 800 number is a waste of time.

  13. Dec 30, 2019

    1. This office is Always packed. In all the years ive dealt with them ive never once been able to get them directly by phone. You have to call Social Security 800 #. 2. You can do most anything Online. Their online services are Extremely easy to use & if you have a Cellphone it will even Update you on your Paperwork status.

    I tried calling to set up a appointment to file for disability papers, but got no answer, could someone email what I should do. Thank you.

  18. Aug 12, 2019

    The number is either busy or it rings and rings with no answer after NUMEROUS calls. Very frustrating!

  19. Feb 25, 2019

    I will be 70 on April 21, 2019 and want to start receiving my Social Security benefits (I currently only receive Spousal Benefits). I prefer a morning appointment at the Covington, GA location. I have tried calling 770.728.1031 but have not received an answer or option to leave a message.

  20. Jan 8, 2019

    Can I please have a supervisor to call me soon as possible because I came up there to change my address and I just call Social Security on the 1800)772-1213 i call them today they say they didn't see no change of address change my address and I personally came in the office so I would like to talk to her supervisor today because that is ridiculous I came your face the face and yes I would like to make a complaint on y'all bad business

  21. Sep 11, 2018

    I am very disappointed with the staff at this office. After being on hold for over an hour, I finally was able to talk to a representative; however, at 4 p.m. the representative hung up on me. I assume this is because the office had closed. It would have been nice for the person to at least 'good bye'. Please work on your etiquette!
