This place is literally pointless I went to update my information the lady at the front desk took my original copies of my bank statements following two weeks since I updated I call in there’s no progress they haven’t even view my case they want unreasonable request of paperwork that I don’t have it’s been months since I’ve received any updates on my care they are honestly giving me the run around !!!

We’re still giving those government employees a stay home vacation. I was told by the five guards sitting by the front door that there was no one in the building. I had to phone using the numbers posted on the front door. Thanks for nothing.

Even one star is a waste! I had my ssn interview and they lost whole track of my interview and even blamed on me that I didnt show up on the date(dont they have cctv in the builiding?) and the lady who was in charge never give me a call back to reschedule and keep mentioning about the same thing over again as above. If one specific person cant handle the case, they should let other representative be. It keep delaying my all other stuff that needs to be done back. They need to do some maintenance on employees and calling manners. They are so irresponsible. Highly NOT recommending this place.

Absolutely incompetent. Sent in documents to get our newborn son a SSN, including my drivers license. After receiving the documents back weeks later, we waited even longer to receive nothing. Called the office and nothing had been processed. Someone got our documents, mailed them back to us, then shredded our application. Apparently we needed another document, but there was no indication of that. So we've been sitting here for nothing, and there was not even any record they received anything, so we don't even know who screwed us over. Completely unaccceptable. They should be embarrassed to work here.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Why should I have to wait an hour to make an appointment? This shows that the SS Administration does not work for us-- they work only for themselves.

Paul Schwartz | Sep 9, 2018
Ann Dixon | Sep 8, 2020

Definitely annoying. But being government employees, they do indeed work for us. It may well be that that they are understaffed for the volume of calls they get. There's an option to have them call you back instead of waiting on the line.

Its ridiculous that they dont answer their phones. Most people live far from there and cannot get there. So how are they suppose to find out what they need to. STUPID

Best way to deal with these clowns is to just take a number, then go have lunch. My number came up pretty fast. As lots of folks just gave up and left.

What all do I need in order to change last name on my social security card after a divorce? I have my license and divorce decree. Do I physically have to go into the office or can I mail in?

Jessica Lunsford | Sep 9, 2018
TerryLicia | Sep 8, 2020

You can mail the certified copy of the decree in. Include a SASE and it's been my experience, you'll get it back. Include a copy of your current driver's license and type or handwrite a letter asking for the return of your maiden name on a new card.

I WAS DRAWING SOCIAL SECURITY AND WENT BACK TO WORK, HAD TO STOP DRAWING BENEFITS BECAUSE MAKING TO MUCH MONEY , NOW THE JOB HAS ENDED, HOW DE I START DRAWING BENEFITS AND HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE FOR THE YEAR. I TURN 65 IN JULY

Interested in that answer myself

Why is the Anchorage Alaska office not open they are not answering the phone nor are they making appointments to conduct business? This is so frustrating and just makes things harder during these trying times.

Im not sure why they are still closed. I just work in the building....not in their office though There is a number posted on the front doors to the building if that helps. I'm at work now n I can try to get you that number if you haven't already been by and seen it.

When changing you name why do I have to send my actualy drivers license? This means I have no ID or a current Drivers License unless I go buy another one. Once my name change goes through I will have to buy another drivers license again?

blonday66 | Sep 8, 2021
blonday66 | Sep 8, 2021

This is 100% what I am going through. If the office was open if they would get back to work we can all take the necessary precautions. My daughter just got her ssn card for gettingarried but she didn't get her documents back.

How do I view my new ss card on li9ne. I received all my documents back in the mail. But need to know when I will recive my actual new SScard

Me nieghther

are they open for in person, and are they by appointments?

Desirae Fox | Jul 10, 2022
Jennifer Randolph | Jul 10, 2022

Yes they are open for in person, I would be there as soon as they open, they keep distance and only allow so many in the waiting room at a time. Bring a mask or they have disposable ones there but you have to put one on to go into the office.

Hello, How do I go by getting my mom see someone w/ ssa for early retirement inquiries. My mom is planning to retire from Providence Extended next year.

Stewart Bautista | Jun 10, 2022

It is pretty easy to get things started when you got the social security office the security guard will ask what you are there for and can assist you with the machine to get your ticket to be seen. The wait times are very love right now. They will give you a packet to fill out and if they have a person available you may even get your appointment that day.

Exelsior | Sep 8, 2021
Andrew W | Sep 8, 2021

You have to call the office to arrange an appointment before you go. Good news is they started taking phone calls at this location again starting last week so you should be able to reach someone.

When does SSA ever answer the phone? What time zone are they in? I have called numerous times during REG.BUSINESS HRS TIMES,for another non answer. I cannot apply online as a widow.

Kay Ci | Sep 8, 2020
Cristian Mason | Sep 8, 2020

I've been in the same situation since lockdown started. At the beginning there were representatives to talk to, but now it seems like there are absolutely none, and getting a hold of one is impossible now. I've been calling the past few days. It's ridiculous that many parts of government administrations are open and some still closed. The last update they posted was the update of them stating that they are closing for the time, which was back in March...

I just got married how can get my social security number what are the steps

rose white | Sep 8, 2020
Roy N Crystal Johnson | Sep 8, 2020

You should have been given an SS number when you're born however when you get married you need to go to the courthouse after you've gotten married and legally change your name and then you go to the social security office and you present them with your birth certificate and your marriage certificate to have your name changed on your social security card

John Phillips | Sep 8, 2020
Kevin Vakalis | Sep 8, 2020

9 am last time I was there. It has been a number of years though. The federal building annex opens at 730 am. Their website confirms 9 am m-f

What if my identification is expired. Can I still get in?

Willie Martin | Sep 9, 2019
Thomas Larabee | Sep 9, 2019

Probably not. Depending on your transaction, you may also need your birth certificate.

How do I apply for a replacement social security card?

Dianne Barrett | Sep 9, 2019
TerryLicia | Sep 8, 2020

Write the SSA at either the Anchorage or Fairbanks offices (both addresses are shown online if you type in Social Security, Anchorage or Social Security, Fairbanks) and ask for one! Supply them with copies of your current driver's license and a certified copy of your birth certificate. If you also supply them with a SASE they'll mail back that copy of your birth certificate usually. This is how you get things done in Alaska - and probably EVERYWHERE in the USA! We can still put pen to paper, use certified mail, with return receipt requested and you'll get what you need! I've set up direct deposit this way, put in a Change of Address this way and gotten a divorce, given them a certified copy of the decree and gotten a new card in my maiden name this way!

How do you get a social security card for a child? We've misplaced our kids and would like for them to have one to keep in their own files / wallets.

Kelly Laipenieks | Sep 9, 2018
Lexi Amann | Sep 9, 2018

1) Go to your closest Social Security office and there will be a way for you to check in and get a number card, and then you'll have to probably wait for a little bit because of whoever might be in front of you, and then you'll see someone and talk to them about getting your kid a social security card. You'll also have to bring a birth certificate or some form of ID for your kids. 2) Don't put it in there wallets, if they lose it and someone picks it up and gets it, they can steal their identity. So avoid doing that.
