I don’t know why people are badmouthing this office. Just came out with a very good impression of the staff and office. My social security officer was kind,courteous and professional. I would definitely recommend this place just bring all of your required documents.

Very disappointed. Google maps got me lost several times. Sent me up a one way street the wrong way. I'm hesitate to use this again.

Laurie LeGoff | Sep 19, 2020
Quita Quita | Sep 19, 2020

I do not personally work for Social Security but I am a college student and deal with SS. Tell her to go back and check what she put in because she may have input her numbers wrong. If she needs further assistance she can call FAFSA and ask them what may be the issue. Hope this helps. Have a great day.
