Went on a Friday around 11:30am and was immediately helped by a nice security guard who helped me quickly get through the kiosk questions. I came in to change my name after getting married and fully expected it to be a hassle. But I was out within 20 minutes! There was no fee, I'd completed the application online and brought it with me. I parked on the street right out front of the main entrance. I was shocked at how easy it was!

Perfect for dropping off viral paperwork completed at home. Internal security guard is wonderfully helpful & great at directing flow of international students, disabled/ interabled adults & confused applicants who know what they need but always disorganized (me!!). I've been sent this quiet Aero drive location numerous times, I always leave two steps ahead but not with exactly what I need. If you can go down to First/ Front Ave early, highly recommend....

Overall the Aero Dr staff are very good and helped me with a lot of things. Why can I say that? I've used this very office for over 15 years. Yes, there are a few "bad apples" but after going through over 2 years of HELL because the state (not SSA) issued a bogus medical report, things are fixed. Filed notice of appeal Feb 2020 and staff gave me all the proper forms. Came back the next day and appeal was all set -then came COVID. Recently, I had face to face (not phone) appointment with the Disability Hearing Officer and two days letter got the decision letter from the officer. The bogus state medical report was thrown out, the 2020 decision overturned, and no further SSI medical inquiries for the next 8 years. The COVID pandemic has screwed a lot of us over who use SSA. They are getting back on track but just try to be patient. If you are appealing a decision like I was then ask for in-person hearing rather than by phone one. I'm glad I did. It's been confusing if everything is by appointment only or walk-ins are OK. I asked if I need an appointment to bring my revised trust documents and walk ins are back. No appointment needed but try to avoid Mondays or Tuesdays after Presidents, Memorial, and Labor Days. Remember masking is mandated of everyone, both I and the Disability Hearing Officer were, so if you are high risk for COVID like me they are following common sense protocols. The parking lot is small and it's easier to street park on Afton Rd. If you can't drive or ride share is too much, bus route 25 is an option that stop at the office.

Today I went to the social security office and had a great experience. I was able to park right in front of the office (limited parking available on the premises). The security officer at the door was extremely proactive and guided me to obtain a ticket for the purpose of my visit. There were just a few people ahead of me and the wait time was just 20 mins. Once my turn came, it took just 5 mins to get everything processed and I was my way out (I submitted an online application before the visit). The SS employee who helped me was efficient in her work. Overall had a great experience and the best experience so far at an SS office. Thank you for helping today and keep up the great work!

Jacqueline Ruiz | Aug 23, 2018
Justin Eragod | Aug 23, 2019

Depends if you still have other forms of IDs that DMV can accept to get a replacement ID. If not, you will need to start with replace your birth certificate, then use that birth certificate to get a replacement ID. Finally use that ID, to get a replacement SSN. If you have valid military ID or work ID, you can use that to get a replacement SSN card.

terry noonan | Jul 23, 2022
Janet Tiger | Jul 23, 2022

I don't know how to sign up for Medicare because I did it a few years ago and I think it's different now. But it does have something to do with your social security number and where I went is the walk-in location for Social Security if you need a card or something like that. I do know a lot of things can be done online but you'd have to go online to look for that

Only if you've already established a meeting with a representative there, then they can give you a more direct line to their desk. So, initially they are all 1-800 numbers.

Krystal Foster | Aug 23, 2019

I'm not sure what forms specifically? You can request some forms from the representatives st the windows, after you check in at the kiosk. Also, if you have access to a computer or at the library, if you don't, you can download & print up forms that you need at www.ssa.gov

This location doesn't not process SSN card application. You have to go to Social Security Card Center. The closest one is 109 West Ash St. San Diego, CA 92101. However if you go there, you'll have to pay for parking. You can also go to 810 Arnele Ave. El Cajon, CA 92020 (which has free parking. Wherever you decided to go, just make sure you have proper ID (unexpired CA Driver License, ID, U.S. passport). Hope this helps.

My ex husband passed away on APRIL 16 . Do I can request the benefits from his SS ? He was 61 years old . Thank you veronica de Saracho

veronica DE SARACHO | Aug 23, 2018
Justin Eragod | Aug 23, 2019

Mrs. Saracho, there are other factors to determine if you can qualify for benefit under your ex-husband, for example: how long did you marry to your ex-husband & how old are you, etc... I would advised you to visit your local SSA office and bring proof of marriage, divorce, and death certificate. Your local SSA should be able to help you.
