    Ive been trying for days to reach this office on the phone. whats up with this?

  2. Sep 1, 2021

    I need an appointment to apply for my benefits. I do not have access to a secure computer and prefer to speak with someone in person. I have tried to call for an appointment numerous times without success.

    I had a phone call from Mrs Taylor at the hickory office. I had moved to Mo for a short time to help a friend. I’m moving back to Nc on the first I thought, I was waiting on my May SSI check to do the move. Today I get a letter saying they are stopping my monthly supplement payments because they need correct information about my name address or bank account! Why is it so difficult to get ppl to listen. I’m moving back to Nc, nothing else has changed. I was in another state for a few months. Why would that make cutting off my life support system help me in any way ? I’m going after my disability, not this waiting till I’m older.

    I need to get a new social security card. I was wondering with the Covid 19 outbreak if you were doing this in person and if I need to set up an appointment.

    I received a call from someone who said that he was calling about fraud committed on my account. It supposedly took place in Texas. The number on the phone was: 828-874-4935 and took place at approximately 3:50 p.m. today (9-24-2020). I tried to call your office, but was unable to reach anyone. When the individual asked my name, I became suspicious and asked for his name and telephone number so that I could call him back and he then hung up. Please call and let me know if any fraud has been committed or if he is the fraudster. Also, I was supposed to receive a death benefit when my husband died on March 18 of this year, but received nothing from Soc. Sec.
