Does the Government pay the rent for the SSI office? Does the rent not cover some parking places? The office is very busy and parking should be provided as it was before. Also the online directions do not say an appointment is REQUIRED!

VERY VERY BAD SERVICE… considering run by a government and being funded by working people. No one is picking up the phone, cannot even schedule an appointment via online. Very frustrating.

Security officer is really nice and helpful. The first staff member I met did not do my application completely correctly. I have gone back five times since then and met with someone different than the first time. She was really great and helped get my application going.

They made an appointment for me but never sent a courtesy confirmation as they said they would. When I called to get a confirmation, after the terribly long phone tree message (4:57 mins.) I was told I needed to hold 40 minutes or more. Ridiculous and imcompetent. No way to run a business. At least offer to give me a call back within a specified time. My survey experience is here.

Beth is right. Walk-ins are attended to in about 15-20 minutes. If your case needs long & detailed work then they make an appointment for you for the same day or a future date. Parking is the major problem there!
