Cooperative and very friendly staff. Thanks to Annie for helping me out in a very friendly manner. It took me about 20 minutes to complete everything.

They require appointments now and no longer takes walk-in. You will have to queue outside the building to wait for your turn which is super hot. Awful.

This office is easy to see from the front if you're entering from one direction, not so easy to find from the back where the parking lot is located. Find it on the street before parking to know where to go. (I don't enjoy having to go through several areas to find an office.) I took a number once inside and started to fill out paperwork. I was called before completing them and found I didn't need to finish them as they had full and complete records on me. I had filled out the paperwork 20 years ago for a name addition and nothing had changed since then. I would have liked to have gotten my replacement card then and there, but they are mailing it to me within 5 days, so I can live that. I was treated kindly and respectfully by the service rep., which was a relief in my freaked out mood from tearing my house apart to find my card.

Great office. Small but comfortable. I've been 3 times and wait usually 20 minutes (without appointment). The staff are helpful and able to answer questions. So much about SS and Medicare that's confusing it really is important to talk with someone. Big thanks to Brian Anderson who is so nice and helpful.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I need to make an appointment how do I do that? I will not call because I'm on hold for over 2 hours and I just cannot do that

I don’t think you need one. You can just walk in. I did the same thing. Try going on Tuesday to Friday after 2:00pm and you will be able to get things done quickly.

Talk to your payroll person.

Is the Brea office open for in person

Linda Dileo | Aug 21, 2021
Jack Dare | Aug 21, 2021

Not 100% sure, but I had to make phone appointment and they said they're busy because in person is closed. I doubt Brea is an exception but good luck :)

I was given an appointment date to discuss signing up for benefits today, Monday 2/22/2021 at 2pm PST. My phone rang at 11:30am and I wasn't able to answer it. The call back number was Social Security. Did I miss my appointment ?

Jack Dare | Aug 21, 2021

If you're appointment was really for 2pm, probably not. Maybe it was a reminder or something similar. My mother had a 10am appt last week and they called her at exactly at 10am. Edit: I suppose different representatives could be more or less punctual, but 2.5hrs seems absurd.

Can I apply for a replacement social security card here

Danny Gheen | Aug 21, 2021
Joan Ard | Aug 21, 2021

No it is closed to the public

Is it faster to call and wait 2 hours on hold or just show up and wait 30 minutes.

larry s | Aug 21, 2020
Becky Sturtevant | Aug 21, 2020

Wait the 30 minutes I would say.

Go directly to the office, bring the necessary documents

I changed my name in March 8, 2018 at the social security office in Brea, but they never forwarded the info to the MediCal office. I have my new name on my card but they still haven't forwarded to MediCal. How long will they need to change my file ?
