Just returned from second visit in the last week. Didn't have appointments either time, but wait was short. Both times was helped by Ms. Cortez, and so happy with her service. She was understanding, professional, and easy to talk to. I really appreciate her work and efforts in rectifying my issue.

Have not been since they opened back up but they did have a system going before. Get there early enough to get your business taken care of!!

Miss Cortes was so rude and condescending. Was not helpful at all and her attitude was unnecessary. I asked for her manager and was denied. I called 2x and was disconnected to begin with just to get an employee who obviously didn't want to help me and didn't want to be at work. She told me her mngr was named "Nieves" and that there was no call back procedure and then she hung up. I called back spoke with miss Ginger and she was SO HELPFUL SO NICE and was able to realize that the address was mis keyed on YOUR END. She updated my address and fir me a new card out. I've been in CS for 13 years, active listening, patience & understanding BEFORE responding goes a long way! Nobody wants to sit on hold for 20-40 minutes to begin with so finally getting someone and then being rude is DISGUSTING. Shout out to Ginger!!!! Thank you for your help!

The citizen who serves as security at the door (public servant) Latino, a person who has very bad service to answer, I thought he did not have a good day the first time, but today I reiterate that he did not... It is the attitude he has on a daily basis.. ..in terms of customer service, Miss K. I never knew her name, but her box is #17. She is the only person that I see that helps you with everything you need. She is very helpful and seeks to help you with whatever you need. at your fingertips.

My spouse is deceased... I remarried but now divorced... can I receive my late husbands socisl security?

Sally Baker | Sep 13, 2018
Julian Perea | Sep 12, 2021

Wow. Im confused. So you want to receive a monthly ss payment? for your first decieased husband because you got divorced to the second one? Money we all get taxed for? I dont think so and I certainly hope not. If so the US needs to fix that. If he is deceased why do you need the money? You weren't the one on social security. Even if he was military... I'm pretty sure it hold the same rules and regulations as Alimony. You got remarried all past spousal support is void. Although if you had children with your first husband in certain circumstances your children could receive ss payment or something similar. If you had children with your second husband they would not receive the same benefits. I suggest if you need money, you work like the rest of us or you can just apply for ss for yourself. I truly do not understand the logic behind your question. Really hope there are other circumstances you failed to mention in your question because idk smh so many not nice options of your character.

If no name changes and you are 18 or older go to myssa.gov and you don't need anything. Just set up an account. The wait times are long if you go to the office.

Can I apply for a new S.S. card on the internet?

RosaLee Ingram | Sep 13, 2019
Kathy Cason | Sep 13, 2019

Yes, through MySSA.gov if you are not making any changes like a last name due to marriage. To set up an account you must be 18 or older. There is no charge for a social security card so do not mistakenly go to a website that charges you and asks for copies of your personal documents and states they will get you a card for you. No one can get your card but you.

When direct express cancels your card and u didn't request change and cannot correct the situation through the phone
