Ghetto Personified. I came to the office today to drop off some documents at 3:40pm. I use a wheelchair. As I'm waiting for the worker to make copies, a large, tall, bald, man comes out from the "back double doors." I assume he's a supervisor. He's starring daggers at me, so I stare back. He asks "What are you doing here!?" I say "Dropping off documents." He grunts and walks away. Now I know Casual Friday is a thing, but he was wearing a tshirt, sagging jeans, and a gold pinky ring on his right hand. He then goes over to talk to a security guard. He says that apparently there was a threat of a shooting made to a different DSS location. While that is horrible if it was true, it does not give him the right to act slovenly towards clients. Completely unprofessional.

ZERO STARS!!! My son who has a brain injury went in there inquiring about his benefits and the lady at the desk was EXTREMELY RUDE! You are in a public service job! It’s LITERALLY Your Job to have customer service skills. If you don’t like your job then QUIT!

My mother has passed away on May 11, 2022 all social security checks have been stopped however the death benefit of 255.00 has not been received. Please advise

First make a appointment to see some one bring the death certificate to show proof of your mom death and as far as the social security benefits you have to talk to someone to see if you qualify for the benefits then go from there.

No, that's a different department. Call 211 and they can give you information.

I was asked to provide proof that I was no longer working for a former employer before I could be approved for EBT. I submitted that proof at the drop box inside the DSS building but after a week I have still not heard anything. What do I do now?

As far as I know you can but its a lot easier to go to thr building and print one. You don't neet to meet with them in the back they can print at front desk. ALWAYS ask for printed because some places don't accept hand written
