I was super upset yesterday with SS office. I was hung up on twice & I suspect it was the same gentleman I had each time. On the third call, I didn't get hung up on but put on hold for at least 10mins & then told he could not locate my paperwork, paperwork sent two weeks ago!! I was trying to conduct business & yet I feel i received POOR service. New update: I am having the worse time with this place. Now, the issue is I can't get anyone on the line. I have sat on this phone for at least 20-30 mins and no response. I have to work and I am calling between my breaks, lunch, training, etc. Some things I cannot go online to handle. There has to be a better solution because I can't visit the office during their office hours so I have to call.

I moved to Alabama with my child who is disabled from New Jersey. I received her benefits for 2 months when we 1st moved & then they stopped because they said I had to prove that my daughter lives with me. Mind you they had her new school, our address, her new doctors who actually treated her & they stopped her benefits almost a year because COVID came & they claimed they never received her paperwork. All they kept doing was mailing me paperwork to fill out & I would send it right back & even went to the office to drop it off. Finally received her benefits but won't give the back pay. They owe her 9,000. They keep saying they are going to release the funds but never did. They wrote me & said open her own account & I did & still nothing.

They make people feel like a criminal. This place is horrible. From the man at the front to the window woman you see. Wait times are crazy and no one is nice.

Is it possible to get a loan from my social security account?

Barclay Boirun | Sep 23, 2018
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2018

No. Even though it's money you have paid in during employment, it's income for retirement or disability. If you have a 401k account through your job, you can take out a loan against it, but has to be for something major, like medical emer., or schooling, etc.

My full retirement age is 66 and 6 months. I am thinking about retiring in 2022 when I reach 65. My wife is 2 years younger than me and will not be at retirement age and will continue to work. Will this effect how much I will draw.

Jim Oliver | Sep 22, 2020
Dana Browning | Sep 22, 2020

Retiring at 65 (18 months before full retirement age[FRA]) will result in a reduction in your benefit forever. If your FRA benefit is $1000 per month, you will receive approximately $888 per month. Go to SSA.gov to verify. If possible, wait until FRA to start claiming SS benefits.

Only thing I can think of, is call Extra Help, & it's only to help with medications. They have to make below a certain amount to qualify. You call call Huntsville Utilities, & see about help with getting their home more insulated or lower bills.

A person can be entitled on their own AND someone else's record. It depends on several factors. The best thing to do is to come into your local office or call us and we can give you better information. By the way, I am a worker at SSA. Just come into the office and we will look at all the factors.

Capstnalum | Sep 23, 2019
Shonneky Langham | Sep 23, 2019

The Social Security administration will never call you about "closing" your number. This is most likely a scam. Please do not EVER give personal or bank account information to someone who calls you.

How do I qualify for my decreased ex husbands social security benefits?

delarese pettus | Sep 23, 2018
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2018

You need a copy of your divorce papers, a copy of his death certificate, & and you might need a copy of his birth cert, and possibly a copy of marriage license and his social security number. You will have to go to the SS office to apply. You will also need your photo id. If you are married, right now, I don't think you will qualify. If you are drawing SS, you will only be able to draw one check, & that will be the the largest amount.

My wife signed up for SS when she turned 62. I did not sign up until 8 years later. Can she signup to obtain 50% of my SS benefits.

BOBBY SHADRICK | Sep 23, 2018
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2018

Don't I wish. As my husband draws SS, & I receive Social Security Disability. Unfortunately, unless you pass away, and if your ss income ck is more then her ck, she will only receive the income that is the larger amount, not both ss incomes, not even half of the other persons ss income. Unfortunately for all of us drawing SS, even being married, surviving person is only allowed to receive one income only from social security. My Stepdad passed away last year, so when I took my Mom to report his death, it turned out that my real Dad had made more money than my Stepdad, so my Mother is now receiving her ex-husband ss. She no longer gets her SS, but fortunately my Stepdad retired from a great job, & when he retired he received a ck each month, so now my Mom is now receiving his monthly retirement check. Thank goodness for that extra income, bc Social Security income is not enough for a person to live on, expecially after medicare is deducted from the SS.

I have a 6 month on daughter who was born early i heard that i could get more money from my disability check for my child is this true i am located in huntsville alabama

Virginia Allen | Sep 23, 2018
Sabrina Davidson | Sep 23, 2018

I received my award letter stating updates... including Medicare. I am a little concerned that I've not yet received a Medicare card. Is there a reason why?

L Hamel | Sep 23, 2018
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2018

Are you on Disability or 65 yr old? If you are under 65 u will not be on Medicare yet. If u are drawing disability, and you are covered by a spouse or partners healthcare plan through their employment u will not be on Medicare either. I was 53 yrs old when I started drawing disability, but bc my husband was still employed, he had to put me on his healthcare plan. 2 yrs ago when he retired & started drawing social security he was only 62, & not old enough for Medicare, so we had to find him an individual health plan, but bc I am disabled, & no longer covered by his insur, I had to call SS office & was put on Medicare. My husband is turing 65 next wk, so he is now on Medicare. Hope this helps answer ur question. Best of luck.

Sorry for your loss. You need to take a copy of her death certificate & probably your marriage cert, & if you have a copy of her birth cert, that will help also. You can call to see if you need to bring anything else, & maybe be able to set up appt. You can also just take the info with you & do a walk in, where you enter your info, & a number will be issued & you can wait to be seen. They are open from 9:00/4:00 during the wk, except they close @ 12;00 on Wed.

Dail Allen | Sep 23, 2017
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2017

You need to go to the website: SSA.gov to set up a account. There you will see what you have earned each year that you have worked. Your check from SSA is determined on your earnings over the last 3 quarters reported to SSA. You can apply for SS on this website. You might also consider having Fed Tax taken out of your SS if also. This website should help with most of your questions. You can also go to the local SS office to apply, there you will type in your info on a check in device, which will give you a number that will be listed on a screen where you wait to see a person who will be assigned to help you apply & can answer any questions you have.

The website says I already have a account. But I can't access it. Please Help!

john fields | Sep 23, 2017
Cathy Stevens | Sep 23, 2017

You will have to contact SSA, by phone if you are having trouble on the website, especially if you have forgotten your pass code that you got when you first set up account.
